Washington Post reveals duplicity of Environmental Agency

The article from the Washington Post as contained in the title link, demonstrates clearly what we all have surmised about regulators of the oil drilling industry...the Minerals Management Service...there is no regulation...only cash bonuses!  So are we surprised that skirting damning reports from environmental specialists in favour of pushing oil projects through approval process as quickly as possible in order to make the most money, may be a common practise?  We certainly shouldn't be...but then what does this mean with respect to our angst against BP?  In my opinion a great deal!  I don't know why this isn't all the"buzz", since it most definitely shifts more blame onto the US government than is currently being relayed.  You would...or at least I would, "expect" the oil industry to be opportunistic in it's approach to disaster preplanning, but the government agency responsible for processing and approving projects should be expected to be ensuring the best advocacy for all of the American people's, and indeed the western hemisphere's, environmental safety...that is after all, their job...what pays their bills...that ensures their well being!  According to the Washington Post article, documents have shown that they have  been corrupt in their handling of previous drilling projects, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the huge lapse of judgement and preparation that has resulted in the largest oil disaster in history, that today continues to spew oil, 36 days after the original explosion. Heads should roll, and not just at BP, but most definitely at the MMS, or the EPA or the BFO |(bucks for oil!) or any other government agency tasked with the responsibility of securing the safety of these oil projects...a responsibility that they have chosen to set aside in the name of business, and probable personal gain.  Their "flow" of income should be "shut off" just as assuredly as this well needs to be shut off.  But I don't hear the noise?...I don't understand why, in a nation so entrenched with gossipy headlines and torrid political romances, we are not calling these people and agencies to account. I don't care about Lindsay  Lohan...what about this corruption?
Come on CNN...where's the story?
