Most of the oil that leaked from BP’s Macondo well from April 20 to July 15 is still beneath the water’s surface, five scientists including Samantha Joye, a professor of marine sciences at the University of Georgia in Athens, concluded in a memo made public yesterday. The researchers say they drew upon the U.S. government’s study while reaching different conclusions.

Fishermen are reporting that as well as they dredge the ocean floors.
I read that earlier..even Cooper Anderson went out with them and saw for themselves.

A group of fishermen got Gulf water from where they were going to fish and had it tested.
Yup..you can get the results.

Meanwhile..our government officials read the corexit label, smell the fish and don't see oil on the beach so ALL IS OK..OK ?

Here's a summary report from Zerohedge with embedded links to more stories.

The fishermen are saying there's oil out there and the governments (local,state,fed) are telling them to shut up.

Hooray for freedom of the press. I agree with Keith Olbermann...all of this other stuff, such as the WTC Mosque is just a diversion off of more important issues such as this. How can any even halfway intelligent person ever believe that, POOF, it just disappeared.

Well lookig at the similar lek offf the cost of mexcio for months and still enevr found where it went to it is likel;y we will never know exactly. They still don't know what exactly happen but have said much of it was eaten by bacteria in the waters.Just as we have seen that crude can be truned into fertizer bu =y adding bacteria on land. It likely mnay will want contiued funding by gettig grants and othe funding to study like always tho.I think its better that we actaully fight that that has gotten to shore and we know what damage that can do really.
