Today the British Petroleum Commission charged with exploring what happened that lead to the explosion of the Macondo well deep in the Gulf of Mexico, released its preliminary report.  The important conclusion of the report is that the federal government could have done a better job of informing the american public about exactly what was happening and how much oil was being leaked at the outset of the oil leak.  Also, the idea that 75% of the oil had disappeared by the end of August was ridiculous.  Most people knew right away that this was crazy--it doesn't just disappear!

Let's hope that we get a straight report that we can all believe and that tells us the truth going forward.
