Great! I am glad the investigation is going forward and those responsible for the mess should be held accountable and punished. I know we don't live in a democracy but if capitalism is to have any chance of success they better start making some sound decisions before its too late................

Great find. I hope it goes ahead. Much of what is done to boost profits is criminal - and should be prosecuted as criminal.

Flag and for importance.

That would be great if it happens.I think
BP will be able to worm their way out of
any real responsibilty.Loop holes and they
will probably play the blame game.
It will be interesting to see who will be "officially"
blamed for the disaster,money wise.
