This would fancy that a prohibition on all other researchers and commentators be considered, and would be backed by federal authority. Looks no different than what happened in 1989. We'll never be made whole, and they'll never pay for the ecosystem loss. Hell, we're still trying to get repaid for induced damages from 80 years of canals and pipelines. We vote for change, and get more of the same, then cynically rally around the most short sighted issue possible while the rest of the country and the world asks, when are they going to enter the 21st century? - Unempirical Observer Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:49:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6594-bp-buying-scientists-silence#comment-8907 Oh Bubba B, Its like this, the scientist involved in the graft, now with their hand out like louisiana's politician, excuse me, but this is a very common occurence in Louisiana, if they had any druthers they'd get their butts kicked out by the powers that be ! BUBBA, why would these con artists worry over losing their tenure and being put to the curb, when "" THEY ARE JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:55:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6594-bp-buying-scientists-silence#comment-8904 Q: "What's your opinion" A: "It depends on who's paying me" Unfortunately, this SOP in our society. Just look at "Expert Testimony" in trials... Kudos to the Professionals in the referenced article for not succumbing to the almighty dollar. - Par for the Course Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:16:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6594-bp-buying-scientists-silence#comment-8903 It's not just the oil that smells. - babyboomer Fri, 16 Jul 2010 18:39:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6594-bp-buying-scientists-silence#comment-8900 Does anyone really believe that they can purchase everyones silence or favorable reports from all? I don't believe so. Universities will take the cash as will various professors across the country but that doesn't mean they will all put their professional careers up for sale. - Bubba Boudreaux Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:47:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6594-bp-buying-scientists-silence#comment-8899 Jeeze Loueeze. I'm not sure why researchers with ethics would take this type of "support." kinda scary!! - angie Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:28:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6594-bp-buying-scientists-silence#comment-8897 Would you really expect anything different? Cash is always King in the land of the free & the home of the brave!! - The Original Northsidian Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:23:37 +0100
