BP has declared itself not guilty of gross negligence over the Gulf of Mexico oil rig disaster after an internal inquiry.

The full results of its probe into the April explosion - which resulted in the deaths of 11 rig workers, the departure of chief executive Tony Hayward and catastrophic pollution across the region - will be revealed next week.

An earlier interim report highlighted seven areas of failure. There will be a final report after the company has recovered the failed blow-out preventer.

2. Hmmmm

So are they going to lay the blame on Haliburton and the company that built the rig? Now that could be interesting watching the go after each other and try and lay the blame on the other guy!

What a crock of shit.

4. Why is this any surprise? Mega corporations are souless monsters

that consume all and give back marginally. I'm surprised BP even admits to any failure on their part.

5. Now ain't that especially special in a particularly nauseatingly ludicrous sense

:)

Decider. Ha, that's a good one. I'm not familiar with that one.

7. Ever since the 20B hush money was agreed upon, the

government and 'press' have been their dutiful whores.
