HuffPo: BP To Accept Some Blame For Oil Spill In New Report
BP is set to release a 200-page report Wednesday in which the corporation will accept some, but not all of the blame, for one of the worst oil spills in history, reports The Wall Street Journal.

The report, organized by about 70 "mostly BP employees," may or may not play a role in the legal dispute surrounding the Deepwater Horizon blowout and subsequent spill.

BP will conclude that "decision-making responsibility on the Deepwater Horizon rig was varied."

4. That was a funny headline
Like they get to decide how much blame they will accept.

Except that's probably exactly how it works. They tell the US government how much they will accept and the government agrees to blame them for that much.
