"The pelicans struggled to clean the crude from their bodies, splashing in the water and preening themselves. One stood at the edge of the island with its wings lifted slightly, its head drooping -- so encrusted in oil it couldn't fly."

Notice that the one main theme is that the federal government is hindering progress. True or not - I don't care if it is or not they need to hear from all of us - What a horrible legacy for mankind let alone democracy.
How arrogant the United States is; we were so worried about Cuba drilling off shore and now our mess threatens their waters - one of the worlds great reefs and existance as we know it. And shame on the UK too. It is just another example of their long standing disregard for the world. Where are the sons and daughters of the patriots that rejected that emperialism a centerury ago - have we all sold out?

The New York Times reports:
The records also indicate that since the April 20 explosion on the rig, federal regulators have granted at least 19 environmental waivers for gulf drilling projects and at least 17 drilling permits, most of which were for types of work like that on the Deepwater Horizon shortly before it exploded, pouring a ceaseless current of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Asked about the permits and waivers, officials at the Department of the Interior and the Minerals Management Service, which regulates drilling, pointed to public statements by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, reiterating that the agency had no intention of stopping all new oil and gas production in the gulf.
Department of the Interior officials said in a statement that the moratorium was meant only to halt permits for the drilling of new wells. It was not meant to stop permits for new work on existing drilling projects like the Deepwater Horizon.
But critics say the moratorium has been violated or too narrowly defined to prevent another disaster.
