BP Criminal Charges? Oh, Don't be silly!!

Among environmentalists there seems to be speculation regarding the possibility of BP being charged with CRIMINAL complaints regarding their business operations.  I have to say, that the very thought that this might happen is simply amusing.

Reality bites, but the fact is - we had a whole White House full of people who broke the LAW with impunity and TORTURED other human beings.  Not only did they torture others (who may or may not have been the nicest people in the world - but to my mind that doesn't matter.  We are the good guys, the USA, and we do not TORTURE.) but they broke about every law that exists regarding torturing in wartime, AND, they have BRAGGED about it too.  We can't seriously expect Eric Holder to get either of these cases dragged into court, now can we??

So, in my estimation, the chances of any criminal charge actually STICKING to BP is almost laughable.  (Take heart Tony).
