Satan, not BP, is usually the object of that command. If their actions during the spill were not enough to bring out their Satanic qualities, their post-spill actions or lack thereof certainly are. Michael Conathon has a good summary of BP's post-spill attempts at making things right.
First, did you know that Ken Feinberg's contract with BP is subject to renegotiation every three months? Maybe that's why a judge issued an order banning Feinberg from claiming independence and requiring him to clarify that he is “acting for and on behalf of BP in fulfilling its legal obligations.”
At least one marine scientist has claimed that life on the seabed floor has been devastated and we will not know the full damage for ten or more years. I've yet to hear a counter to that claim.
BP is not paying what it said it would. It is late on paying Louisiana for reconstructing oyster beds and damaged wetlands. It has paid 10% of what it said it would pay to universities and researchers investigating the gulf's condition post spill.
But, hey, things are fine with BP. They're making money hand over fist as the price of oil tops $100. And you know that first deep water offshore drilling permit since suspension of permitting in the spill’s aftermath. The largest shareholder in the well that received the permit? BP.
Satan triumphs again.
