In Jay Ambrose’s Jan. 26 opinion column, “Obama’s betrayal on pipeline decision hurts nation,” there were many statements without accompanying facts, and many facts missing that were needed to support his claims.
First, why must the Keystone XL pipeline go from Canada to Houston? Where is the refined oil to go? Is it being used in the U.S. or by foreign sources, like China? Nothing said about that.
Ambrose uses reportorial vague words such as could, might, would, perfectly harmless, lied, welshed, etc. to pose his claims, all of which are not substantiated.
Though I don’t know, I suspect that this oil, after leaving the Port of Houston, is going to foreign countries, probably China.
