A curious change
The latest news in the business world has Tony Hayward stepping down as CEO of BP. This is not really unexpected in light of the disaster that occurred on his watch. What is curious is that his replacement will be "Baghdad Bob" Dudley, BP's senior American executive and the man who currently heads up BP's Gulf operation.
To put that in another perspective, the man currently responsible for BP's disastrous cleanup efforts, dilatory well capping efforts, unsafe conditions and procedures on the Deepwater Horizon and continuing unsafe conditions and procedures at BP's refinery in Texas is being elevated to CEO of a company already notorious for shoddy or non-existent safety and now ostensibly responsible for cleaning up the mess.
Yup! That should do the trick.
