Yes, the BP "spill" as the media is so fond of calling it, is in reality murder. With an ecological disaster piled on top.

There were 11 men on that rig who are dead, not because of an accident but because of a pattern of conduct, including bribed and malfeasant inspectors, the people who bribed them, deliberately shoddy work on the drill site, those in power at BP who chose cost savings over saftey, choosing the sloppy safety, and everyone who helped to cover up the bribes and lousy work. Those are the co-conspirators. Right now, there should be 500 FBI and EPA agents interviewing everyone who ever came near that rig: Planners, designers, drill workers, inspectors and their supervisors, and yes, BP management. Every document that exists concerning that rig should be seized. This should have begun on April 21st, but there is absolutely no excuse now. We KNOW inspectors were crooked, and we know who made them that way. We know BP has a long history of choosing to save a buck over safety. We know the former U.S. Attorney (and ex-big oil general counsel) "declined to prosecute" when presented with a report of bribed inspections. How far up does this go? How far into our government? If and when the authorities finally decide to start looking, they're going to find the BP records "missing", and the employees out of reach in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Tracks are being covered and strategies conceived as we sit here.

So why hasn't President Obama ordered a full speed ahead investigation?

Where are the FBI agents?

Where are the subpoenas?

Where's the special Grand Jury?

Why isn't Eric Holder on the TeeVee every night telling us soneone's going to hang?

It's time to call it Murder.
