In the letter, Steven L Roberts, lawyer for Transocean, writes: "BP has continued to demonstrate its unwillingness, if not outright refusal, to deliver even the most basic information to Transocean.
"This is troubling, both in light of BP's frequently stated public commitment to openness and a fair investigation and because it appears that BP is withholding evidence in an attempt to prevent any other entity other than BP from investigating," he wrote.

Let me translate that last statement for everyone.
"We have been at the forefront of buying and limiting all information having to do with the various investigations.We have paid good money to keep the US government and others from looking at the truth about the Deepwater Horizon trajedy"
Yep,I think that covers it.

And isn't BP the same company that the government asked to retrieve the broken preventer? What chance do you think we'll have of ever seeing that little jewel?
Good eye Nyghtshayde! Keep the information coming.

Remember Hayward at the Congressional Hearings? The forefront of cooperating? People with amnesia have better memories. I don't remember who won the contest, Tony Hayward saying, "I don't recall," or Congressman saying," your not being forthright." I think Tony won. And a week later the big hype in the news showing the photo of Hayward yachting in the English channel? WE were all relieved that he got his life back. BP screwed the clean up crews, they screwed the oil boom manufacturers', they lied to begin with on a plan to avoid the disaster in the first place and what gauls me to my very core are the poor misled Americans that cheered them for doing a good job. They're liars in the first degree. BP and this entire administration should be behind bars. Oh yeah, one more thing, Haywards British accent is gay.

Analysing all the articles and blogs I had read so far, the master-mind of this charade has to come from a close circle and the subsequent ranks just execute the orders from the top without questioning the motives. But when the @!$%# hits the fan, it is the lower ranks who were left holding the short end of the stick. The problem is not going to stop if the master-minds keeping getting away.
When the lying stops, only can the healing processing begin.
