Dick Cheney and the Oil Spill

Michael Tomasky writes Dick Cheney and the oil spill "And now it turns out, according to an environmental lawyer whose interview on Ed Schultz last week is getting a lot of circulation, that this leak may well be traceable in part to...Dick Cheney."

Apparently Cheney's energy task force decided that $500,000 acoustic switches to shut off such a well weren't needed because there were other safety measures. Some countries (Norway, Brazil) require them, some don't (UK, US). We don't really know the details, but it's fun to speculate.
