How Is This Legal - Is This A Massive Cover-Up?

Emerging reports are raising the question of just how much of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill journalists are able to document.


When CBS tried to film a beach with heavy oil on the shore in South Pass, Louisiana, a boat of BP contractors, and two Coast Guard officers, told them to turn around, or be arrested.

"This is BP's rules, it's not ours," someone aboard the boat said. Coast Guard officials told CBS that they're looking into it.

As the Coast Guard is a branch of the Armed Forces, it brings into question how closely the government and BP are working together to keep details of the disaster in the dark.

Furthermore, this may not be the sole incident of its kind. According to Mother Nature Network's Karl Burkhart, his contacts in Louisiana have given him unconfirmed reports of equipment being turned away or confiscated.

Check out the CBS report:

  1. I sure hope they stop this leak before it gets in that loop current that would take it to the East coast.
