Taking their time while the environment suffers

The Associated Press reports this morning that "BP happy with new oil-leak effort, but no promises. Underpromising with hopes of overdelivering, BP said Sunday that it is making progress on what could prove its most effective effort yet to contain the Gulf oil leak, but cautioned that the verdict could be several days away. A new cap being placed atop the gusher is intended to provide a tight seal and might eventually allow the oil giant to capture all the crude leaking from the well for the first time since an April 20 oil rig explosion set off the environmental crisis. But several prior failed attempts to stop the leak have made BP PLC careful to keep expectations grounded."

BP needs to quit calling it a "leak". It is a gusher, like in oil gushing into the Gulf, destroying life.

BP needs to get this gusher stopped or get someone who can.
