<<...It seems like the American oil industry relies on duct tape and a lot of luck. Cheating on crucial tests is "not unusual" and government watch dogs are toothless. They let the oil guys just do whatever feels best. And this motherf*cking BP is still playing peek & poke games with the public. Releasing as little information as possible and trying to hide the real facts as long as possible. Lawyers are obviously in charge and trying to "limit the damages". I can imagine a bunch of PR managers and lawyers of BP there trying to think "how we are going to turn this to a positive thing?".

If this had happened for example over on the Norway rigs, we would have live video & audio feed from the spill and they would bore you with too much detail instead of this American style white smile, polished PR campaign. Like this is some kind of celebrity related scandal!...>>
