#2 The protests almost succeeded. It was a good strategic plan - don't mount a significant protest until the last second (or 1000') after all the capital is spent, then use any excuse to delay completion and cash flow so the project will go bankrupt. Makes me wonder who would have bought the project in bankruptcy - Burlington Northern RR?

#3 OTOH, the lame stream media has desensitized the majority to the antics and stratagems of the always aggrieved protesters. Most of us glance at the videos and mutter to ourselves "what is it this time? The wrong toppings on their dessert?" and move on. Nobody in the middle is swayed by the agitprop theater anymore.

#5 Oh, I totally agree with youg(r) I just think Grievance Theater is wearing thin. They may very well have to "actually do something," even if that something is terroristic and just plain wrong. Not excusing it by any means.

#6 If the Sioux would shut up and sit down with the pipeline folks they could probably negotiate a pretty juicy right of way usage fee thingee for the tribes...And is this to get Canadian crude to US markets or North and South Dakota tar sand oil to market...I've forgotten in all of this pseudo rage and thumb sucking by the left.

#8 The company is currently reaming the hole -- i.e., making it larger in order to accept the pipe.

Yeesh. Phrasing.
