Yes, Richard, most Americans would like to see BP sliced and diced; taken over by one or several companies.

Apache has backed away from bidding for the Alaskan segment. A difficulty is that under American law, they would also become for some of BP's liabilities, which may reach $100 billion.

Unfortunately only a fraction of this amount will ever be paid.
