If they go out of business footing the costs, then so be it. But surely the intent should not be to deal with them in a deliberate way so as to shut them down as some extremists are demanding. But my feeling is that BP may go down under if they are to foot the consequential damage costs.

To me, there is a key issue that the MSM is not fully picking up on. And that is the inspection report that BP had in hand. BP knew fully well that the BOP was defective and that the hydraulics had leaks. If that is correct then BP is expected to act expeditiously on this critical safety system. Did they? My presumption is that this "no drama" Administration has seized and frozen such papers and lying low for now so as to assist in the plugging up of the spill. Once this is done, then they should move to prosecute BP to the fullest. And to be fair to BP,, all other oil drillers should be treated the same way in that any lapses in safety equipment maintenance should be prosecuted.
