Venice, Louisiana (CNN) -- BP's top official said the oil company will make a decision later Wednesday on whether to proceed with a "top kill" procedure designed to contain oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.

BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward told CNN that a determination will be made after testing is complete.

"So far, it's looking OK," he said. "But we haven't got all the data we need."

Top kill has worked successfully on above-ground oil wells in the Middle East but has never been tested 5,000 feet underwater.

5. Salazar getting reamed by Rep. Miller at hearing now.

" All oil cleanup is nothing but a PR move"
Says no progress made since 1969 in oil cleanup techniques, wants whole system to revamped and
"looked at".
Questions oil spill accountability, sounds loud and angry.
Salazar responds in even monotone, usual bureaucratic BS.

6. maybe they should get all those CEO's to plug up the hole

7. It isn't a surprise that there is so much talk about what allowed this to happen in the Bush Admin

It seems Salazar is trying to clean the MMS up. He just told one of the Repub's Congressman Doug Lamborn that he was part of the problem!
