Let’s hope he brings an extra set of handcuffs:

[Attorney General] Holder, going to the region for the first time since the Deepwater Horizon offshore rig explosion and ensuing gusher, will meet with attorneys general from Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi and U.S. attorneys representing those states.

Holder’s visit comes as the administration is putting increasing pressure on BP to be held accountable for the deadly accident and environmental crisis.

Let’s see… negligence, homicide, environmental and economic damages, concealment of the risks, a failure to respond to any known risks, and a failure to report a dangerous situation, other legal terms I’m not familiar with that would nail them to the wall… Yes, those are good for starters.

And Obama administration? How about you put an end to drilling? That outdated means of extracting what’s left of filthy, finite, toxic fossil fuel qualifies as criminal, too.
