If BP is found criminally negligent or even that it didn't

[shraby]

follow regulations when drilling that oil well, would the caps still apply? The caps are in place for a legally drilled oil, no a mess like they have right now that bypassed regulations.

1. Oil spills and the death of the gulf is so tree huggerish.... let's talk

2. The problem is the regulations bar was set so low/

US Mineral & Mines Services (Agency in charges) knew that BOP had 50% failure rate, knew nobody had every drilled this deep in past, knew Haliburton had caused previous blowouts with improper cementing, knew there was no acoustic deadman's switch.

Our "regulation" was essentially non existent. For a decade it has been basically "do what you want".

3. BP should not be allowed to survive this.

The BP should stand for "Bankrupt Petropolluters.
