Deepwater in Big Pictures

Boston.com's The Big Picture does the Gulf oil disaster:

It's just a drop of oil in the Gulf bucket after all.

So we were told there were three leaks. One near the BOP one further down and the end of the pipe(where it met the drill platform. BP claimed the end of pipe leak was the first they dealt with. But when we finally got the video, the mid pipe leak clearly shows that there is no connection. So the first claim was blatantly false, mere PR. On top of that we are told that the leak they showed is the biggest, but if that was the case why not show the "smaller" leak. Then we learn the O administration seems to have been keeping images and in fact may still be keeping images from the public.

Call me irked. And we must keep drilling without any review period.

BIG FAIL SO FAR.
