To someone looking casually, they probably seem, innocuous or even responsive. But when you see regular releases and read them carefully, you see they are essentially saying, "We're not going to tell you anything and we don't have to." <br /><br />And even I was too lazy in my thinking to question the Norwegian 'foundation's' history.

Or, for that matter, how the USCG still is dealing with public access to information about its activities throughout the DHOS response. <br /><br />One only needs compare that 2010 event to the Unified Command's handling of this ongoing one, to come up with a template for how the inevitable Chukchi or Beaufort Sea spill will be handled, sometime between 2014 and 2020.<br /><br />Maybe we should bid on the job of writing the pre-press releases for that, now Steve? All we need to do is set up an office in Amsterdam, London or Oslo, and fake a company history that goes back to cleaning up after the Spanish Armada, or the 2nd Battle of Copenhagen, or .....Philip Mungerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601488767955084836noreply@blogger.com
