Not now. They are talking about the cause of the original fire/explosion.

Is it possible the explosion was from ecoterrorism? I'm trying to weigh the possibility that it wasn't.

Here is a link to Obama's brief remarks about the federal response to the spill. He off-handedly mentions SWAT teams being sent to rigs. So far, I haven't heard anyone question this. SWAT teams sent where specifically? To do what? Aren't there any journalists out there? Any Freeepers on the rigs in the Gulf?
To: Sharkfish
Thanks for that. Put the link up on my site.

“
The slick is making its way toward a delicate environment of birds,
marine life and some of the nation’s richest seafood grounds.
“
A delicate environment...shaped by rip-roaring hurricanes since pre-history.
(I don’t like the oil spill, but the affected areas will eventually
recover...Obama should thank BP because this event will probably
require hiring of clean-up technicians)

Maybe he thinks he can bully and intimidate the “racist” oil that is going after Mayor Dinkin’s ‘choclate city”?
To: dandiegirl
Worked out of Breton Island for a couple of years, Main Pass and South Pass. The mess after Camille ended that for me. Some nice fishing out around the platforms for sure.
Just listening to a knowledgable Offshore Oil Patch guy on FNC talking about how they have come up with a trap for the 130 gallons a minute well flow, using an inverted funnel to bring the crude to tanker suction. Once that’s inplace they just pump it onto oil barges until BP can shut the well off.

Lots of brackish and sea water around there, don’t know if the snakes can dig the salt water, it would be the only place in Louisiana that didn’t have some big watermeskins.

Not to be too nit-picky, but that would be Ray Nagin, not Dinkin (NYC). Although, both are interchangeable.

WTH?? SWAT teams?? They’re taking over, gang!
To: WKUHilltopper
WTH?? SWAT teams?? Theyre taking over, gang! Maybe this was a terrorist hit job. Could also be eco-terror by some green nut case. Other possibilities here. Not that what you say isn't true :)

If it were terrorists, why isn’t the FBI and engineers doing this? WTH does a SWAT team know about petroleum??

LOL! I think you’re close to the mark there!
To: hecht
Nah, sounds like Bush and Cheney’s MO (blowing up the levees) that caused all the damage to NO during Katrina.
It’s probably Bush’s fault, and Cheney’s too as a former Halliburton CEO. /s

That was my thought. I can’t imagine any other reason they would send SWAT teams. What else are they going to do? Are they trained in enviro clean up?
