"I was dismissed. My investigation was shut down," said West. "I have never seen the DOJ shutdown an investigation this strong, moving ahead with so much momentum"

  • chinauprising, on 11/05/2008, -1/+5There's plenty of evidence that executives at BP committed crimes. Here is a resource of all the studies, reports and letters documenting BPs need to deal with pipeline corrosion control and safety. http://www.pogo.org/p/environment/AlaskanPipeline. ... There are documents that show reports that criticize BP that were released with those criticisms deliberately edited out.

  • inactive, on 11/05/2008, -3/+2Huh. And I was thinking about working for BP too. Oh well. They are giving me scholarship money :P

    Side note: If I see one more "OBAMA WON" topic I'm going to explode.
