2010 US President Barack Obama wants Congress to pay Israel more than $200
million to fund a new missile system, the White House spokesman says. Obama has
asked Congress to approve the aid so that Israel could deploy a controversial
missile system called the "Iron Dome." White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said
on Thursday that Washington recognizes the need [?!?] for Israel to have such a
system. [<strong>So why the f*ck do *we* have to pay for

2010 Alaska's senior senator blocked legislation Thursday that would have
dramatically increased liability caps on oil companies, in the wake of one of
the industry’s biggest disasters. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) objected to a
voice vote request by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) on the bill, which would
have spiked the maximum liability for oil companies after an oil spill from $75
million to $10 billion.</font></font></font></font></div>

Permits</strong></a> 13 May 2010 The federal Minerals Management Service gave
permission to BP and dozens of other oil companies to drill in the Gulf of
Mexico without first getting required permits from another agency that assesses
threats to endangered species -- and despite strong warnings from that
agency about the impact the drilling was likely to have on the gulf. Those
approvals, federal records show, include one for the well drilled by the
Deepwater Horizon rig, which exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers and
resulting in thousands of barrels of oil spilling into the gulf each day.</font></font></font></font></div>

May 2010 New information on the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has come
to light indicating that the US government allowed BP to drill in the area
without proper permits. Federal records show that the Minerals Management
Service (MMS) gave BP the green light for drilling, in violation of the
Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. According to the
Center for Biological Diversity, which filed a complaint Friday to sue the MMS
over its non-compliance with the laws, the Department of the Interior also has
approved over 300 drilling operations, three large lease sales, and over 100
seismic surveys without the required permits. </font></font></font></font></div>

Say</strong></a> 13 May 2010 Two weeks ago, the government put out a round
estimate of the size of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico: 5,000 barrels a day.
Repeated endlessly in news reports, it has become conventional wisdom. But
scientists and environmental groups are raising sharp questions about that
estimate, declaring that the leak must be far larger... Ian R. MacDonald, an
oceanographer at Florida State University who is an expert in the analysis of
oil slicks, said he had made his own rough calculations using satellite imagery.
They suggested that the leak could "easily be four or five times" the government
estimate, he said.</font></font></font></font></div>
