It's good that America has a 100% perfect safety record and have never spilt a drop of oil on foreign shores, or else they'd look like right hypocrites.

It's not often I'd stick up for a company (and especially not BP), but the smoke and mirrors around this issue really is shameful, as others here have pointed out.

Complete hypocrisy really. Halliburton are involved as well.

No Agenda have been going on about how the Gulf spill in 73(?) was worse than this one... It seems Americans have very short memories.

And the company responsible for that accident is also responsible for the BP one as well. Just a new name but same company.

What really astonishes/confuses me, is that the company responsible for the mess has disappeared with the insurance money and left BP to take the rap. Why isn't anybody questioning the company who owned and ran the rig questions, or asking them to help clean up the problem they made?

Because TransOcean is a subsidiary of Haliburton which is part-owned by Dick Cheney

Halliburton also have a consultancy contract with BP on this field.
