BP's trusty lab analyzes crucial sci. evidence

by Gorette

I wanted to say it's nonsensical but it makes all too much sense. At the same time Obama's NOAA administrator and BP are denying the existence of oil plumes, the lab chosen to be in charge analysis and oil spill data is truly an industry insider that has now scrubbed its website! [What's up with that? Below the fold.] Why not choose a laboratory that can be trusted completely key evidence on the BP Oil Gusher, one that is non-partial, objective, scientific? Any LAB not OWNED by the industry it will be in essence investigating? The lab should not have any industry ties. When BP and tens of billions of dollars are involved then all appearances of further "cosy" relationships and collusion should be avoided. Maybe collusion is too strong a word to use? I don't know but I'm suspicious as all get out. What's up? Given BP and NOAA's denials, we must be suspicious. This cannot stand!
