just received a notice from Washington Post. There is as yet nothing other than the headline on their website.
the message included
The blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico gushed even more oil than the worst-case scenario envisioned, a whopping 4.9 million barrels, or 205.8 million gallons, according to a new analysis by government scientists charged with estimating the flow rate.
Worse than the worst-case scenario
and at a maximum of $4,300/barrel, fines of over $21 billion dollars
I realize this diary does not contain much data. I will update as I get more.

The story says the government scientists charged with estimating. It is still an estimate, and I presume one reason BP is hiring all the scientists is to be able to challenge the government's figures.
