the Obama administration is trying to gain
political mileage from spreading feel good
news about the Oil Spill before the data on
the "spill" has been analyzed and shared
through peer-review. There seems to me, to

Return of the BP Cover-Up
Earlier this month, the federal government claimed that three-quarters of the oil in the Gulf had magically disappeared.

I realize this news is weeks old but it
has not been posted in the forum before.
I think that is it important to keep these
issues alive and also to support those who
are acting on behalf of the American public
