From what I can tell - the Gulf should now be considered a crime sceen. Its time for some TransOcean, BP and Haliburton exec's to don the orange jump suits and do the perp walk.

If tomorrow fails . . . . . and the only solution is the relief well which would be done in August banghead, this disaster's impact will be felt for generations.
