We don't have to blame BP or Halliburton or any one of myriad oil service companies who had anything to do with the oil spill. We've found a single engineer who lied! That is such welcome news for those of us who think America's ultrasocialist government gives transnational corporations a hard time.
Federal authorities arrested the engineer, Kurt Mix of Katy, Texas, who was charged with two counts of obstruction of justice in a complaint filed in the Eastern District of Louisiana and unsealed on Tuesday.
“The department has filed initial charges in its investigation into the Deepwater Horizon disaster against an individual for allegedly deleting records relating to the amount of oil flowing from the Macondo well after the explosion that led to the devastating tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico,” the attorney general, Eric Holder, said in a statement.“The Deepwater Horizon Task Force is continuing its investigation into the explosion and will hold accountable those who violated the law in connection with the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.”...NYT
DOJ say they're looking for more perps, but why bother? This Kurt fella sounds easy to locate and tear to shreds in the media. And, as we all know, nothing like this will ever happen again in the Gulf because our highly respected transnational energy corporations never make mistakes of this kind. It's always someone like Kurt who screws things up. Plus a bunch of screaming liberal ninnies making like a little oil in the water is a big deal.
Right?
Case closed.
