BP gives out low numbers on flow from broken pipe. We hear better analysis. If the DOJ and Bush administration had backed EPA officials's call for criminal prosecution, safety might have improved. Plus Nalco, manuf. of Corexit, left behind Superfund site in Texas.

Dr. Ira Leifer speaking about BP's shear and cap effort to stop the flow of oil coming from their blown pipe in the Gulf of New Mexico:
'What I would argue from looking at the videos is however much oil is coming out its large enough relative to 15,000 that it did not make an appreciable dent in it. That means itâs certainly more than double that and the amount is something that we should be able to figure out within a day with the results of the new data'.
