BP Denies Coverup, Spilled Oil Keeps Coming

BP Friday fended off accusations that it had not fully disclosed the size of a month-old seabed leak billowing brown crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico in a spreading environmental disaster.

The London-based energy giant, facing growing U.S. government and public anger and allegations of a coverup, said its engineers were working with U.S. government scientists to determine the real size of the leak, even as they struggled to contain the still-gushing spill with uncertain solutions.

A month after the well blowout and rig explosion that unleashed the catastrophic spill, sheets of rust-colored heavy oil are starting to clog fragile marshlands on the fringes of the Mississippi Delta, damaging fishing grounds and wildlife.

Several scientists say the spill is much bigger than BP had previously announced and probably has eclipsed the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. They fear parts of the massive fragmented surface slick will be sucked toward the Florida Keys and Cuba by ocean currents.

"I understand the frustration," BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles on CBS's "The Early Show." "I know people want more information ... I can tell you we're supplying information. We're trying to give the data as quick as we can."

""I think the best case scenario is actually either late Sunday or early Monday as this top kill procedure works and the flow stops ... I think worst case is it takes us until the relief well gets down which is probably early August," he said."

4. I want a firing squad

OK, that felt good. What I really want is BP banned from doing business with the US government, I want them sued for fraud and conspiracy to ruin our environment, I want their top execs in prison, I want the very similar thing for Haliburton and Transocean too.

5. Nah, death is too good for them

I say, bring on the lawsuits...and watch them squirm on national television while facing a senate panel.

3. "I know people want more information"... no they want the volcano of oil stopped.

But of course, profits are far more important than fragile marshlands, coral reefs, or, well... anything, right?
