Professor says chemicals 'worse than oil'; Corexit substance also known as 'deodorized kerosene', poses risk to man and animal alike

One would think that British Petroleum -- the company which was leasing the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig when it exploded on April 20 and initiated an oil gusher in the following days that's since spewed over 3 million barrels into the Gulf of Mexico -- is already in the midst of a PR nightmare and would do anything to avoid making it worse.

One would think.

1. SEIZE THEIR ASSETS. Throw all the corporate officers into Gitmo! Close down ALL their oil rigs!!!!

I am NOT kidding...
If Nasser could do it in Egypt and Chavez could do it in Venezuela..why can we nationalize BP???
How are these guys any different from any other terrorist group that threatens our national security?????????????????

Why not?perhaps this is where the US needs to be looking at legal and other options.

Besides, then we could tell them what to do with their subs and their technology, and we wouldn't have to wait for them "to think about whether or not they might try or not try something."...

and where is the moratorium on drilling, etc...? nowhere, they are still moving forward as if nothing happened.

and did you hear there was an arctic drill platform that has been evacuated due to instability?
