Gem of the day

In the latest installation of BP: Beyond Preposterous, we get this gem delivered today:

"BP Executives Say They Didn't Know Who Had Control of Oil Rig Before Blast"

Truly extraordinary. Can you say, lack of risk management? I don't know what's worse, the potential for this to be misconstrued testimony or the potential for it to actually be true.

Here's what they said:

"Kent Wells, a BP senior vice president who started working on the oil-spill response two days after it began, told a federal panel yesterday he never looked into who might have been at fault because he was focused on controlling the well. Another manager, David Sims, said he failed to read an e-mail about cementing procedures because it was difficult to see on his Blackberry."
