Three great unsolved mysteries of the BP oil spill

Safe, effective solutions ignored

Three great unsolved mysteries of the BP oil spill:

1. Why is BP and the Coast Guard (who claim to be in charge) NOT catching the oil when it is out to see and apparently letting it come to shore instead?

2. Why are they ignoring safe, proven methods of catching the oil which would allow it to be sold?

3. Why are they spraying hundreds of thousands of gallons of the extremely hazardous material Corexit which only "solves" the problem cosmetically?

You would almost think that:

1. They want the oil to be wasted and not recovered

2. They want the oil to hit beaches and create hysteria

3. They want to create a highly toxic environment in the spill area and beyond

I tend to watch what people do, not what they say

No, I wouldn't almost think that...
the questions aren't questions - they're built around presumptions that aren't at all obvious (e.g. "ignoring safe proven methods") . If they really are more than rhetorical devices, you'd expect them to be followed by the real answers that BP gives and a critique pointing out the flaws in those answers.
I tend to watch how people marshall their arguments, not what they claim their 'facts' mean.
