Update 3: 5:19pm ET
From AP, via CBS News 9 WAFB:
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton broke her longstanding silence over the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, telling voters at a campaign stop in Iowa on Tuesday that she opposes the project assailed by environmentalists.
The Democratic presidential candidate said the project had become an impediment to efforts to fight climate change.
"I think it is imperative that we look at Keystone pipeline as what I believe it is, a distraction from the important work we have to do to combat climate change," Clinton said. "And unfortunately, from my perspective, one that interferes with our ability to move forward to deal with the other issues. Therefore I oppose it. I oppose it."
