Oil Spill Panel: White House Blocked Federal Scientists From Releasing Worst-Case Scenario For Gulf Disaster

Wednesday, October 6, 2010


What type of transparency did you expect?

What makes this off limits?  Is this in the same category as nuclear codes?

Why wouldn't the American people be entitled to this information?  Why wouldn't the people in the region most immediately impacted by the effects of this spill be entitled to this information?  If you were a fisherman in Louisiana, wouldn't this information influence the decisions you have to make regarding the rest of your life, and where you want to live it?  And for oil people in the region, for that matter.  Perhaps they might want to go into another line of work, make some plans, based on what's in that report and how the American people might react as a result.

I'd like to see where you draw the line as to what information in a democracy is none of the People's business.
