Validation of an engineering design is my specialty, though, so I hope you understand why my ears perk up when I hear these kinds of reports.

So, as a professional engineer (a different specialty, I understand that), do you believe there is enough information publicly available on which to base the attacks against BP's operations?

I'm not an engineer but I just don't see how sufficient details are available to make any real determination. I wouldn't argue with you about it, though.

Meanwhile, Paul Begala is on CNN calling the CEO of BP a dirtbag and the biggest villan of the year, etc. Obama has almost done as much.

I don't know about the engineering end of it. But since the date that rig exploded, BP has done everything humanly possible to solve this problem. They do this because they are trying to salvage their business. To have the president come out and condemn their actions, express "anger", and generally bash the company is counterproductive and incompetent.
