Look who is leading the Congresional investigation--Waxman and Stupak. They will only be interested in blaming it on Bush and Cheney and in shutting down drilling forever.

In fact, it is Dems and enviros fault for making them drill so far out and so deep. Closer in and shallower would be so much easier to drill, repair, cap, anything--but that would make waaay too much sense.

“.......Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Beverly Hills) and Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), leaders of a congressional investigation into the disaster, said in a memo.......”

There’s a couple of trustworthy names. Makes me sit on the edge of my chair, face up to the monitor, and want to read further. /s

There were warning signs of a valve leak nearly five hours before the deadly gulf oil rig explosion???????????

So why didn’t they pump a “kill” down the tubing and reduce the pressure?

there are two sets of BOPs on every well I ever worked on.

They should have been able to shut the pipe rams and control the pressure
