Martha I didn't actually watch the hearing, so apart from the snippets that I saw on the news, am largely unaware of what went on .... but, isn't it true that he said there was an ONGOING investigation - and it would be unfair to comment until it had reported back ? Isn't it also true that Congress only called this hearing - knowing that the investigation was ongoing - in order to "convince" their electors that they were doing something ?

BTW Pru, you also failed to answer my question about Cameron - what DID he do? Isn't a bit early to judge him ?. Should the fact he's a off really matter ? I reckon about a year in the job is how long it will take to se what he's like. The BP episode in Congress was a shambles and even worse are the current Republicans who actually demanded Congressmen should apologise !
Martha	Prunella Minge wrote: we'll have to agree to disagree about how a serious congressional investigation should conduct itself regardless of whether the subject is forthcoming or not forthcoming Yes Pru - 'agree to disagree' But I think we CAN agree that Hayward will be a lot more forthcoming in the inevitable legal cases/court proceedings which will plague BP - and its share price - for years. If Hayward had held his hands up and said 'we messed up, made an error of judgement and I take full responsibility' - history would have been kinder to him and BP which may not now survive.
Prunella Minge	Well unless you REALLY think he was literally comatose for his first few decades I assume you know. I've never voted Tory in my life so I'm hardly going to strain myself to compile a positive-sounding resume for him, am I? I guess Friday is a quiet day and you fancy a rather pointless debate but I've now got something to get finished before 6pm so I'm afraid it'll be one-sided! And we'll have to agree to disagree about how a serious congressional investigation should conduct itself regardless of whether the subject is forthcoming or not forthcoming. The likes of Waxman behaved disgracefully IMHO.
