Watch the video first.
I am having a seriously hard time believing that the US Coast Guard, which was at the time under the command of Admiral Thad Allen, was the responsible party withholding this information from the public for BP.
ABC's news report is bending over the stripper pole naked at the town square to cover for someones political ass with such a suggestion. Who covered for BP?
I, and I think most well informed Americans, are pretty much going to require a confession to believe it was Admiral Thad Allen. I'm also going to need a hell of a lot of evidence that is was Admiral Landry, the Coast Guard Admiral this ABC video implies in the report. These folks take orders from our elected civilian leaders - they don't make policy.
US Admirals, Navy or Coast Guard, don't put companies before citizens during crisis and emergencies - which is what ABC is basically trying to imply with this reporting.
With ABC throwing the Coast Guard leadership under the bus with this report, perhaps they didn't realize that this likely means we will find an Admiral called to testify under oath to spill the beans. This is going to get very ugly, because the truth will come out if an Admiral is forced to answer the question under oath - and it doesn't take a mental giant to recognize that the person who almost certainly prevented the public from seeing these BP videos is a political official somewhere between Janet Napolitano and the President himself.
