[quote=captcha]I like how the government (federal, none the less) is being asked to step in and take over the containment efforts. Since it is not a defense issue I say let the free market take care of this. BP can always call Harry Stamper.[/quote]

The free market will take care of our dependence on oil, but when there is a disaster, it is precisely the time for the government to get involved. At least to a larger extent than bitching about the dispersant BP is using.
