There's a rumor going around that People in Grand Isle are being arrested for having cameras and their cameras being confiscated.

Can anyone verify this?

Go here and listen to this guy.

Can this possibly be true.

What IS going on there?

Here's a youtube saying the same thing.

YouTube - MASS ALERT ! BP Spill reach Grand Isle Louisiana Media Blackout Arrests for Taking Pictures 1-2

While googling this..I saw other youtubes..hundreds if not thousands of dead fish washing up on beaches all along the gulf and even on the Atlantic side. The MSM is really dropping the ball on this.

I don't know about confiscating cameras, but the FAA and the Coast Guard are limiting access.

Limits on access to oiled waters, coast frustrates journalists

Southern Seaplane owner Rhonda Panepinto said her husband called the BP Command Center on Tuesday for permission to fly photographer Ted Jackson over Grand Isle, so that he could take pictures of the impact of the spreading oil from the Deepwater Horizon well. But the plane company was told by a BP contractor that media flights weren't allowed in the restricted air space established by the Federal Aviation Administration.

"They told him absolutely no media or press on any planes. The press flights are limited to Saturdays only and only in Coast Guard helicopters," Panepinto said.

Mainstream Media. Everyone seems to have a different view of what that encompasses exactly, but it generally does not include cable television outlets.

i can assure you that all the dead wildlife that you see on the news, and washing up on the coastlines are just the tip of a monster ice berg.. the bulk of the critters are sinking in the gulf.!!

bad parasite claims they are capturing 16 thousand barrels of oil a day..!! well i guess that proves the high estimates of the oil gushing into the gulf are accurate..that runaway well is probably gushing 50 thousand barrels a day..!!! the live feed looks the same as it did 6 days ago..bp is digging their grave with lies. bp stock down 95 billion, and falling..

Heh...yeah...right...no suprise the conspiracy kooks are reving up....the guy in the first tape OP posted had no first hand examples of what he claims...all second hand on just his word...

Fact is BP went 'self insured' not long ago...so that is a huge issue regarding their ability to pay required damages...in fact,BP is already looking into how they can limit their liability...now THAT is news...
