10,000 barrels of oil captured from leak but leak is still, uh, leaking...

Admiral Thad Allen (the poor guy assigned by the USG to oversee the BP Oil Disaster) in the article above "explained that despite the unprecedented clean-up efforts massive amounts of oil are still reaching the coast because "this spill is just aggregated over a 200- mile radius around the wellbore, where it's leaking right now, and it's not a monolithic spill. It is literally hundreds and thousands of smaller spills.""

So, there ya have it folks! The leak is still leaking!

Allen went on to explain that the size of these smaller spills "could be anywhere from 20 to 100 yards to several miles in length."

Meanwhile (and completely and utterly unrelatedly): I still don't have broadband at home. I don't know how thry can think it's OK to fail to provide service for 10 days and think that's acceptabl. You'd think Time-Warner cable was run by BP executives.

Oh and doesn't Allen, in that pic above, look like ABC News hit him with a shrink ray?
