Yo! BP (British Polluters Ltd) We have Freedom of Press here in USA!

Yo! US Coast Guard - that goes for you as well - your job is not to shield BP and beaches from press! President Obama - fix this!

clipped from www.indypendent.org No Free Press for BP Oil Disaster New Orleans — Last week, the U.S. Coast Guard, working in concert with oil giant BP, instituted new restrictions across the U.S. Gulf Coast that prevent the media from coming within 20 meters of booms or response vessels on beaches or water. But the insidiousness of the restrictions runs even deeper. Hub Enterprises out of Broussard, Louisiana has a contract with BP to provide “security officers” and “supervisors.” Don is being paid somewhere between $13 and $14 an hour to do his part in helping BP keep a media lid on what is happening with the largest oil-related environmental disaster in U.S. history.
