Another Gulf oil spill: Well near Deepwater

EXCERPT: A nearby drilling rig, the Ocean Saratoga, has been leaking since at least April 30, according to a federal document.

While the leak is decidedly smaller than the Deepwater Horizon spill, a 10-mile-long slick emanating from the Ocean Saratoga is visible from space in multiple images gathered by Skytruth.org, which monitors environmental problems using satellites.

Federal officials did not immediately respond when asked about the size of the leak, how long it had been flowing, or whether it was possible to plug it.

Skytruth first reported the leak on its website on May 15.

3. I so agree with your assessment of corp. greed. If Americans don't
now realize that corporations after the greed we've experienced with financial sector companies, health insurance companies and oil companies, there will be no end to it. imho

4. Nope. And there isn't any leader willing to stand up to them too.
