Can someone please explain why the congress and the people accept that a criminal is in charge

of the crime scene.

"US Attorney General Eric Holder said last night that the federal government was launching criminal and civil investigations into whether BP broke any laws in its handling of the Gulf oil disaster that saw 11 lives lost."

Sure, BP has to handle the well. No way in HELL should they be handling the crime scene, destroying evidence, barring reporters, putting workers at risk and keeping them away from the press.

It is such an outrage, I don't understand this can be allowed by either the government or the people. Is the perception BP isn't acting as it should in the cleanup only that of a "fringe" (like DU, Billy Nungesser and me)?

I'm sorry, but I can't help thinking once again the people in LA are being thown under the bus. If the spill was right off miami, I don't believe this response would be tolerated in any way. Seeing unprotected unemployed black people cleaning the beach, coupled with private security blocking access to the workers...:cry:

We must all have been numbed and dumbed down. :shrug:
