  • The staff paper does not assign any motive to the administration’s moves but says the underestimating of flow rates “undermined public confidence in the federal government’s response” by creating the impression the government was either incompetent or untrustworthy.

  • I am honored to serve as the narrator for this important film and I hope that you will join me and get involved by signing the petition,  watching Crude Justice online, or volunteering to organize a screening of the film in your city. The people we interviewed asked us to carry a message back to the rest of the country that they don’t want to be forgotten. Help us make sure that message is heard.
