This makes no sense. It's not BP's data; it wasn't collected for BP and it's not in BP's possession. They are being close-mouthed about some data that they do control, but this ain't it, FWIW. I would strongly recommend people get their information about the "spill" from TheOilDrum.com. The folks there are mostly very anti-BP and pro-environment, and many folks with hands-on experience in the oil industry participate in the discussions. Crap of whatever sort gets shot down fast. A lot of it is highly technical, but the knowledgeable participants are wonderful about answering questions from laypeople. > 2.
