At the risk of becoming the Oil Spill news web site instead of the Red Tide Florida Web site, I have to throw one more quick article up about the BP Oil Leak. There is a criminal investigation going on against Haliburton (recognize that name?) , Transocean, Cameron International and British Petroleum for what has become know as the BP Oil spill (which was actually a leak, not a spill).
In criminal investigation there is usually physical evidence that needs to be gathered. This one is know exception. In criminal investigations the prosecutors usually let the suspected criminals gather the evidence for the prosecution. Wait! That’s not how it works at all. but that’s what’s happening in the gulf. The companies mentioned have but put in charge of gathering the evidence at the bottom of the sea floor because the government doesn’t have the equipment to do it, and evidently our government has never heard of all the other companies in the world that can do deep water salvage. Evidently they’ll put the Coast Guard (which is also under investigation for helping BP perpetrate several after the fact crimes) supervise the whole thing.
Just one question: Are we actually going to pay them to do this?
