BP, Iraq, and now radioactive waste beside the road.

snip:

After the Deepwater Horizon disaster triggered the largest accidental oil spill in human history, investigators for President Barack Obama’s oil spill commission said that Halliburton’s cement seals around the well cap failed numerous safety tests. That should have raised questions, but the commission said that the company did not share their results with rig operator BP. Both companies have sued one another over the incident, and last December BP accused Halliburton of destroying evidence related to the case.
