[ale] BP knew of problems 11 months before the rig blew -further OT

@Jeff - Can we let go of the "xx-terrorist" terminology?  Unless, of
course you can find a definition that is held by more than three people
at a time, it is a religious-war term for persons we don't agree with,
and adds nothing to the conversation.  It is the linguistic framing that
makes the neo-con forever-war concept seem sane to some people.   

Extreme in my moderation, 
Wolf

The cynic in me at the time of the explosion made me wonder if some
eco-terrorist hadn't somehow caused it in reaction to the then recent
announcement of expanded offshore drilling by President Obama.
