Here is a nutty conspiracy theory story on timing of shutdown. Some people will find corporate evil even when their facts make no sense (stop selling 400,000 barrels per day when the price of oil is at record heights to make MORE money on oil?). Obviously this guy didn't read stories about the previous leaks and understand the pressure BP is under not to have more leaks. Does he have a personal axe to grind or does sensationalism just make his site more readable? Maybe that's why his bio page says he's a persona non grata in the US with the US media.
