Reply #132: Well, experts HAVE spoken out about the report and they have

questioned it as not providing data to back up the claims they are making. I read the reactions of respected scientists the day after the report came out.

It's possible Spike Lee, who may not be a scientist but appears to be fairly intelligent, read the same responses from scientists and concluded that they raised enough questions that need to be answered and have not been, to justify calling the report erroneous. I am not a scientist either but I can understand points made by those who are. And if they make sense, combined with the opinions of local fishermen who also doubt the reports since they are still pulling up oil-covered booms, then I reach a conclusion.

Not to mention that BP does not have a very good record of telling the truth and they have a lot to gain from pretending that things are nearly back to normal. Government scientists also have a fair amount of baggage to overcome.

But as I said, there are deep concerns coming from the scientific world about this report as if people take it at face value, more harm could be the result. There is nothing wrong with citizens demanding truthful answers from their government. And Spike Lee is a citizen.
