I think people are pointing their fingers at BP because I remember when BP, Halliburton, and Transocean were blaming eachother over who was responsible.. the US government kind of called them ridiculous for doing so. Maybe it was a PR move on BP's part to stop blaming others and just try to get the leak stopped/cleaned up asap, regardless.
Also, I think it was last week that i read the cleanup had cost BP $980 mil.. however, their profit from just the first quarter of 2010 was $6 billion. so it would seem that they'd be able to take quite a hit regarding lawsuits and more cleanup costs, etc. and still manage to be financially alright. These are just my limited thoughts, as I haven't read too much into this whole gulf of mexico disaster, just some articles on the globe and watching some of the lang and o'leary exchange haha
