I'd guess BP is paying someone off.

  SomeONE? Maybe you didn't notice but the coast guard is not one person. I find it hard to believe they could pay off enough, or high enough, level people for that to be possible.

    Might've been an instance of a not-paid-off coast guard douche getting all authoritative on some reporters. Reporters then write story blaming the coast guard. Or who knows. It's probably not a conspiracy though.

    >SomeONE? Maybe you didn't notice but the coast guard is not one person. One characteristic of hierarchy is that influencing one person ends up influencing many. >I find it hard to believe they could pay off enough, or high enough, level people for that to be possible. BP is a very connected company. I doubt very much that influencing high-ups is only possible in non-US countries.
