It looks good, how long will it last?
Why it almost appears as if the Obama administration is taking punitive action against the reckless negligence of BP operations in the US.
The Obama administration put a temporary stop to new federal contracts with British oil company BP on Wednesday, citing the company's "lack of business integrity" and criminal proceedings stemming from the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010.Just as three low level employees are taking the rap for the criminal policies of the senior execs. So a quick plea bargain and the suspension is lifted and three guys who did what the bosses wanted are screwed. Business as usual.
The action by the Environmental Protection Administration won't affect current contracts, but prevents BP and its affiliates from new government contracts "until the company can provide sufficient evidence to EPA demonstrating that it meets federal business standards," the agency said.
"EPA is taking this action due to BP's lack of business integrity as demonstrated by the company's conduct with regard to the Deepwater Horizon blowout, explosion, oil spill, and response," the agency said in a statement.
