Gulf oil spill: BP and Government vs. Science

In a study published last week, it was verified that there was millions of barrels remaining in the ocean. It indicated that there was little signs of reduction in oxygen concentration, which would indicate that microbes that feed on the oil were not present. Put another way, the 22-mile long oil plume was going to remain in the ocean for the time being...
However, we can safely disregard that study, as another study released 4 days ago conclusively finds that not only is there evidence of microbes in the area, but they were working at degrading the oil faster than expected. The time frame for both studies shows that they were researching during the same time frame.
Wait... what's this?
The Huffington Post found that? Well, at least we can send independent scientific teams to investi... OH COME ON!
Which means that the team of scientists that is being funded by BP and the U.S. Department of energy are able to broadcast their findings without worry that their findings will be contradicted within the next three years (pending BP's litigation).
I don't blame them...
