btw - off topic but you probably want to change your signature to boycott Transocean. Guess that doesn't sound as good though.

Why? Did you feel the same way about ValueJet when they blamed a contractor? I'm tired of this duck and run tactic. How about the company that made the drilling rig? Oddly enough, BP doesn't deny its responsibilty to clean it up. Why are you so eager to deny it in their stead?

This is my last word as its so far off topic....actually the rig is Transoceans, equipments Transocean and most of the strff as I understand it are Transocean and other contractors. Its BP's development which is why they are paying for the clean up but trust me, Transocean are in trouble as they are paid to contract. Advantage in media for them is no one has heard of them outwith oil circles so the headlines aren't as good.
BP will be recouping costs from Transocean, no question and have stated as such.
