> truth is available for those who will hear it. First they told us the
> "leak" was only 1,000 barrels a day, when in fact it is at least 5
> times that much. Of course it's hard to pretend an oil slick the size

> for public" NOAA emergency report.

> This is not just a leak, it's a monster underwater oil geyser, under
> upwards of 100,000 pounds per square inch of pressure, enough force

> tankers. It's THAT cataclysmic.
