Rightwankers -- led by the idiot Rush Limbo -- are raving about "SWAT" teams on oil rigs -- SWAT teams are special assessment teams from the Dept of Interior, Minerals Management Service -- but don't tell the rightwingers, you'll spoil their conspiracy ravings

Perhaps the right is rattled by the SWAT team they believed had been
called up to disperse a tea party demonstration in Quincy, IL, but
which turned out to be local police in body armor clearing the street
to enable President Obama's motorcade to pass through. But whatever
the cause, they're now seeing the specter of SWAT teams everything.
On Friday afternoon, for example, a headline at the Drudge Report
proclaimed, "Obama Sends SWAT Teams to Oil Rigs..."
It linked to a CBS News story from the previous day which reported,
"Mr. Obama, speaking at an event for the 2010 National Teacher of the
Year, said he had been receiving frequent briefings on the situation
and that he is prepared to use the resources of the Department of
Defense if necessary to deal with the oil spill. ... Mr. Obama said
SWAT teams were being dispatched to the Gulf to investigate oil rigs
and said his administration is now working to determine the cause of
the disaster."
Rush Limbaugh had already pounced on this story and woven it into a
conspiracy theory . He told his audience on Thursday, "I didn't hear
this myself, but I have been informed that President Obama is sending
SWAT teams to the Gulf oil rigs. SWAT teams? I'm waiting on audio
sound bite confirmation of this, but why in the world would you send
SWAT teams to Gulf oil rigs? Oh, I know! Obama probably thinks the tea
party blew up the rig. That's what it is. (laughing) ... We had this
call from a guy out there who said nobody's talking about whether this
was an act of sabotage because I guess they can't prove it, but
they're going to send SWAT teams down there?"
Drudge did not link to any more current story to provide a better
explanation of the president's remarks, but a Friday column by Ed
O'Keefe at the Washington Post, which explains, "The department
deployed SWAT teams from the Minerals Management Service to inspect 30
drilling rigs operating in the deepwater sections of the Gulf of
Mexico. Inspections should be completed within the next week,
according to an Interior Department spokeswoman. Inspectors will check
to see whether the rigs have conducted blow-out preventer tests and
inspect related records."
The key here is that the teams were sent out by the Minerals
Management Service, a section of the Department of the Interior which
"plays a key role in America�s energy supply by managing the mineral
resources on 1.7 billion acres of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
This includes managing Renewable Energy Programs as well as Offshore
Oil and Gas Leasing in Federal waters."
Although ithe acronym is not entirely clear, "SWAT" in this context
could simply stand for "Swift Action Team," or it might represent
something similar to the "soil and water assessment tool" used by the
Department of Agriculture to monitor complex watersheds.
There are also references online to the Obama administration creating
a "SWAT team" within the Office of Management and Budget to set
performance improvement targets
However, the immediate response to the word "SWAT" immediately aroused
the specter of an armed government intervention. Paul Joseph Watson at
Prison Planet, wrote on Friday, "Radio talk show host and former
Reagan cabinet advisor Mark Levin has slammed President Obama�s
bizarre announcement that he will be sending SWAT teams to deal with
the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, alleging that the response is part of a
plan to grease the skids for government takeover and nationalization
of the oil industry."
"Levin alleged that the response was a precursor to government
nationalization of the oil industry via the back door." Watson's story
continued. "'I think those SWAT teams are there in coordination with
the attorney general�s office, the Interior Department, Homeland
Security, maybe the EPA�.to seize records at these sites and to lay
the foundation for more government takeover,' he stated."
