ParticipantSpeaking of the liberal media: from the Rolling Stone-
“Even after the president’s press conference, Rolling Stone has learned, the administration knew the spill could be far worse than its “best estimate” acknowledged. That same day, the president’s Flow Rate Technical Group – a team of scientists charged with establishing the gusher’s output – announced a new estimate of 12,000 to 25,000 barrels, based on calculations from video of the plume. In fact, according to interviews with team members and scientists familiar with its work, that figure represents the plume group’s minimum estimate. The upper range was not included in their report because scientists analyzing the flow were unable to reach a consensus on how bad it could be. “The upper bound from the plume group, if it had come out, is very high,’ says Timothy Crone, a marine geophysicist at Columbia University who has consulted with the government’s team. “That’s why they had resistance internally. We’re talking 100,000 barrels a day.'”“The median figure for Crone’s independent calculations is 55,000 barrels a day – the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez every five days. A source privy to internal discussions at one of the world’s top oil companies confirms that the industry privately agrees with such estimates. ‘The industry definitely believes the higher-end values,’ the source says. ‘That’s accurate – if not more than that.’ The reason, he adds, is that BP appears to have unleashed one of the 10 most productive wells in the Gulf. ‘BP screwed up a really big, big find,’ the source says. ‘And if they can’t cap this, it’s not going to blow itself out anytime soon.'”

ParticipantIncompetent Obama and BP turned down Dutch help with Gulf Oil Spill:
Dutch Consul General Geert Visser in Houston told Radio Netherlands Worldwide he was disappointed. The US response, says Mr Visser: “‘Thanks for your help, but at the moment we can manage ourselves.’ And that was it.” He puts the reticence down to pride.
One month into the crisis, when the President started receiving criticism for the administration’s feeble efforts in managing the cleanup, the administration changed its mind,
“Almost a month later – a month too late, of course – Washington did make a request to send the sweeping arms to Houston in Texas,” says Mr Visser. “They arrived in three 747s, ten days later. They were then transported to Louisiana to be mounted on ships.”
American ships have been now fitted with those arms and should be helping with the cleanup efforts any day now.According to Dutch officials, each pair of arms can clear around 20,000 tons of oil a day.
