A $500,000 acousticly triggered shut off valve would have stopped this oil spill in its tracks. Two other countries insist that the acoustic triggers are always used for wells in their off shore waters.
Since the energy policies over seen by Dick Cheney were put in effect, this country has no such policy to insist upon the acuostic shut off valve.

Even with the fresh meat of another attempted terrorist attack, Dick Cheney (and his daughter) is uncharasticly silent this month.
His fingerprints are all over this horrendous spill.
