You Are Not Authorized To View These Photos

Preface: The title is a parody of the fact that the government has effectively made it a felony to take pictures of oiled wildlife.

While most of these pictures have previously been published by the mainstream media - and presumably will remain publicly available - that assumption is not 100% certain. By way of analogy, the government sometimes reclassifies as top secret information which was previously declassified.

More importantly, while some of these photos have been widely seen, most have not, and I have never seen them rounded up in a single page before.

Illegal to take pictures of oiled wildlife? Sounds like an Onion article to me.

A problem that solves itself.

If these pictures are classified material, in two days time the New York Times will put them on the front page.

Every time my husband sees a photo of the oil slick and of wildlife covered in oil he automatically blames Bush and Cheney because of their “buddies in the oil business”. Quite frankly I am sick to death about hearing his mouth.

& when is it that our grand great exalted mystic master lord and leader will release the held back and vaulted information about the coup of 11-22-63?

I remember they said something like 50-75 years before they tell us who Mr. Grassy Knolls real name is.

I want to cry, I want to scream, I want to dump those who have delayed clean-up smack dab in the middle of this toxic mess.

bin Laden couldn’t have a better friend than Hussein Obama - this is way worse than a nuclear bomb.

I would like to see Tea Partyers FORCE Dems to impeach this traitorist Obama administration.

How do Dems sleep at night and watch their own president delay cleaning up. Bastard Dems are ALL guilty of aiding and abetting Obama destroy America.

The spill and it’s consquences to wildlife sicken me, manipulating matters for a political agenda disgust me even more.

To his warped eviromental mind all he hears is Bush/Cheney/oil business. He has a penchant for blocking out the truth.

“You can’t handle the truth.”

If anyone ever said, or says that to my face, or within my earing, they will get a .357 mag enema so fast that Jerry Miculek will be amazed :-)

Not only has obama and his administration delayed the cleanup but they’re also COVERING UP. They don’t want people to see what is going on because it will force him to get off his pathetic lazy ass.

obama’s response to this crisis has been pathetic. The blood of all this sealife and wildlife is on obama and his supporter’s hands. Every damn one of them is to blame.

If they caputured it early, most of it would have never reached our coastlines.

I talked with someone yesterday that has a son that is working offshore with the cleanup. He told his mother that they’re not allowed to say anything or take any pictures. He said their are these huge globs of oil/dispersants that are the size of a house. He said red on the top and darker and harder on the bottom of it. Birds in flight land on these things. They all end up dying. There are lots of fish in these globs too that are dying.

Some people need to spend every last moment of their lives in prison.

I just like the way Nicholson plays a mean, crazy bastard.

I would just love to have been a fly on the wall all these years and to have heard all the “goobamint” stuff that we, the public, “can’t handle”.

Hussein Obama had NO RIGHT to prevent the world from preventing the spread of this spill. I’m an outraged Canadian.

This is equal to a NUCLEAR BOMB. It’s not just the wildlife and the environment. That alone is sad beyond belief.

But these southern states live off oil, tourism and fishing. What will the people do to make a living? I have always looked forward to taking a holiday there, but not now.

And it’s not just America’s problem. What about Cuba, the Bahamas and other small countries who depend on tourism and fishing?

Who is going to restore the peoples’ source of income and way of life?
