>>Both of them are experts. Besides, there are many more who are couped up in the action room who are experts. Chu is another one of them.

But you and I are not experts. I know well what I do not know and know better to get the hell out of the way.<<

I spent two years in Valdez coordinating that oil spill, so I may know a bit more than you.

We should be getting reports from our government scientists. This is not Russia or China, on the affect of the oil on the wildlife.

And I know for certain BP will do as ittle clean up as they can get away with. So government has to coordinate it and let BP reimburse them. I saw it with Exxon. They do not want to spend money clean up.

Cheaper to litigate later. Exxon had their punitive damage award to fisherman reduced from 5 billion to 500 million. And they have already tried to get all the law suits put in one court that has an oil friendly judge.

BP could be doing much much more to clean up the oil. Like gettign large super tankers out in the gulf to sweep up oil. Too expensive is how BP sees it.

It seems you want us to trust BP. We cannot do that.
