Feds ignore Gulf of Mexico oil spill in study of risks associated with oil exploration
Unbelievable yet not surprising:

"Federal officials chose to exclude the Deepwater Horizon spill from an economic analysis of the risks associated with oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a draft document made public Tuesday."

Btw, the author of this story, Ben Raines, has done a great job investigating and reporting on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. He is an example of what journalism should be about.

3. Figures don't Lie,
but LIARS can Figure!

So the people behind an "economic analysis of the risks associated with oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico" excluded the BP spill.
They are nothing but Hucksters and Scam Artists who should be stripped naked, put in cages on wagons,
and rolled through the streets so that The People can throw rotten vegetables at them.

Undoubtedly, they were under "orders" from "higher up".



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
Solidarity99!
