They also have a gag order on the GIS data for this incident, in direct contradition with NIMS protocol. Here's a letter from the GIS Institute's founder and the guy that set up the GIS servers and systems.

I've been trying in vain for weeks to get up-to-date data after either BP or the Joint Incident Command center in Houma, LA put all the GIS servers behind a firewall. Those data are supposed to be public record, and they will be critical in documenting response efforts.

All I want to do is post an updated map of the slick on my blog's Deepwater Horizon Timeline, using my own GIS application. But I can't get the slick data.

The level of mismanagement, the attempts to deceive, the quarantining of important data, the incompetence is as colossal as the incident itself.

The GIS Institute took their letter down, for some reason.

Here's the cached version from Google.

BP paid a lot of money for this kind of cover. At least Obama, once bought, stays bought. Also Rahm Emanual is staying rent-free in a DC luxury apartment owned by BP, so i would consider this a good investment. I don't know why people are selling BP short, they are obviously too protected to fail.

Beg pardon? The notice doesn't close air traffic -- it says that air traffic below 3,000 feet has to get clearance from a controller. This restriction doesn't surprise me, given that it's in an area in which there are probably lots of low-level flights going on.

If they were serious about keeping people out, why such a low altitude floor?

You people are DISGUSTING for using this disaster to try and score political points.

Simply subhuman garbage.

Political points or maybe Hillary was right, all he had was a speech.

“We need to bring every skimmer possible and have them steam towards the Gulf of Mexico,” says LeMieux. “We need all the help we can get.” …

“What we have to really focus on is not just our beaches, but our inland waterways,” says LeMieux. …

“Oil got into Pensacola Bay and the county commissioners didn’t hear about it from the Coast Guard – they heard about it from residents who picked up their cell phones.” Senator LeMieux says Unified Command in Mobile should reassign some of its decision making authority now that oil is threatening the Sunshine State.

@DINO:

It is not scoring "political points" to identify the magnitude of incompetence demonstrated by this regime. No, that is merely demonstrating a matter of fact.

I will point out that Mr. Bush was skewered and grilled alive for not responding to Katrina within 72 hours, while this regime waited NINE DAYS to declare the Deepwater Horizon spill a "spill of national significance" and ELEVEN DAYS to name an Incident Commander.

Doug: Thanks for the linkage. Reciprocated on the Timeline Page footer (blooger is not letting me do backlinks).

THIS is why there are no flyovers. It's because the leak is not within the well, it is beneath the sea floor. Obama, BP and Halliburton all knew it 72 hours after the spill.

Looks legit.

It'll be cached soon. I made copies. complete with links, etc.

The leak is beneath the sea floor and they can't get to it. And, they've known this all along.

Meanwhile, check out Politico's article on the interview they did with BHO today where he clearly states that this disaster will change American's psyche forever.

No doubt, Hussein. No doubt.
