Government Tried to Block BP Oil Spill Worst Case Scenario

[Nathanael]

Documents released to the government panel investigating the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil leak reveal the White House made a decision not to disclose the worst-case scenario regarding the rate of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.

According to the documents, in late April or early May the White House budget office refused a request by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to release the worst-case flow rate figures to the public.
