"Take, for example, in the early part of the spill, BP said that they were losing some minimal amount of oil 5,000 feet below the surface."

"Do you, looking back, believe that you had the military chain of command so that an order could be given and it would be carried out by all parties?"

"I suspect that Cobalt drivers would not take comfort in that advice, knowing what has come up."
