Video: Grand Isle Security Clash

During the time I spent on Grand Isle this week, I realized there was a huge disconnect between the people giving instructions at the top and the people receiving them at the bottom…especially when it involves the media. The beach is a perfect example. No one knows what the hell is going on. I previously wrote about my experiences here and now have video to back it up a day later.

Take a look at this letter from BP’s Doug Suttles, then watch the video. Here’s the accompanying story.

    This oil spill was no accident, just another example of socialized risk and privatized profits.
