Killing the Gulf

Finally.

Chemical compounds from the oil dispersants applied to the Gulf of Mexico didn't break down as expected, according to a study released this week. Scientists found the compounds lingering for months in the deep waters of the Gulf, long after BP's oil had stopped spewing.

Really? You’d have never known that by BP and government reports up until now. But, if you’d been paying attention to the people who were actually living there or reporting the truth rather than the cover-up, such as Dahr Jamail, you’re simply shaking your head right now.

They didn't break down as expected by whom? By the people who bought what the government was saying about them. The government which used as its reference the claims of the chemical manufacturer. They broke down (or didn't break down) as expected by scientists and countries which have banned the use of those chemicals.

And still…don’t eat Gulf seafood.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
