Journalists Threatened With Arrest By BP Contractors Accompanied By U.S. Coast Guards For Trying To Film BP's Oil Mess!


This is soooo fricken WRONG!!! The U.S. Coast Guard is acting as BP's body guard preventing the media or any camera crews from DOCUMENTING the ecological destruction of marine LIFE!!! Why is President Obama who oversee's our Federal Regulatory agencies (ie: EPA and U.S. Coast Guard) ALLOWING them to give BP FREE REIGN over the situation!?!?!

I've taken the following from the YouTube video description:

Emerging reports are raising the question of just how much of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill journalists are able to document.

When CBS tried to film a beach with heavy oil on the shore in South Pass, Louisiana, a boat of BP contractors, and two Coast Guard officers, told them to turn around, or be arrested. "This is BP's rules, it's not ours," someone aboard the boat said. Coast Guard officials told CBS that they're looking into it. As the Coast Guard is a branch of the Armed Forces, it brings into question how closely the government and BP are working together to keep details of the disaster in the dark
