Fred McCallister, a whistleblower who claims BP is using dispersants to sink oil and hide it from the pesky media’s cameras, will testify before a Senate investigative panel this week.
For quite some time, many bloggers and journalists following the BP-Corexit story, including me, have made the allegation that BP may have been experimenting by dumping over a million gallons of toxic dispersants into the ocean because they were desperately trying to prevent the oil from hitting the beaches.
(The amount of dispersants used by BP has been contested. Rep. Ed Markey has questioned the validity of BPs numbers, saying on July 31 that a new congressional report shows “BP carpet-bombed the ocean with these chemicals, and the Coast Guard allowed them to do it.”)
Everyone remembers what happened to Exxon’s public image the moment all of those adorable birds became coated in thick crude. And while BP has not been able to prevent oil from hitting all coastal birds, they have greatly diminished their PR liability by using dispersants like Corexit to coagulate the oil and sink it beneath the ocean’s surface where the media cannot photograph it, and BP won’t be fined for beach cleanup.
There, buried in the sea, the dispersants will likely alter the ecosystem – perhaps poisoning and killing ocean life – but by then BP will have fled the area, leaving future coastal generations to clean up their mess.

It's not only ocean life that will be harmed, ...the entire eco-system and entire food chain of North America is affected by this. Corexit is capable of being taken up into the clouds where it rains down upon vegetation. You thought acid rain was bad... wait til you see a toxic corexit rain. It kills the crops in the ground. Where will North Americans get their food when they are unable to grow it themselves? Do you do what you did in Iraq... invade for the oil? Well which country will you invade for the food... or the ability to grow it?

OBAMA and his administration said it!!So,your right ,since they are the biggest bunch of morons in the country,a bunch of morons said it.
To Jag,your an idiot.Sadam Hussein in the first Gulf war dropped 36 billion gallons of oil into the ocean,thats 36 billion,EVERY expert agrees that there has been almost ZERO damage from that.Here we have 260 million gallons and everyone is running around screaming "stop drilling".
The ocean floor seeps more oil into oceans then any spill ever has in history.You enviro kooks are the reason the country is in the state its in.

2003 National Academies study estimated that about 980,000 barrels of oil, or about 41 million gallons, seep into the Gulf - every year. Recall that the Exxon Valdez is estimated to have spilled about 250,000 barrels.
