I wonder how many other things about the spill are being held confidential.

"Obama has committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history."

Evidence in criminal and civil investigations is frequently kept confidential before a trial takes place, to avoid complaints about widespread media exposure tainting the jury and interfering with the defendant's right to a fair trial.

You do want the administration to pursue legal action against the polluter here, yes?

Obama is getting shittier by the day. And I used to think he was OK.

Flamebait title. Read the article and it clearly states that this is part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

You gotta wonder, where do we go from here? You can't pick a Republican next election in retaliation, because the reasons people are upset with Obama seems to be, because the Democrat is too Republican...

Maybe a 3rd party will finally find an inroad?

Actually, the Health Care Reform bill that passed is, in all of its essentials, the same as the Republican counter-proposal to Clinton's proposed Health Care Reform.
