Re: from Greg Palast [fact check failure]

[Bill Lear <rael@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Again, this is not in any way inconsistent with what he wrote.
I don't see how his reported conclusions are incorrect based
on what you claim, even if true, which I implicitly stipulated.

So, Palast could have written this, adding irrelevant detail
and ungainly grammar:

"The Alaskan oil was destined for the California market (where it
would have been refined under strict CAL-EPA safeguards) which now
faces a supply crisis at the very height of the summer travel season."

So what?  How is he wrong?
