When you hear them talking about the M.M.S. on the news channels, and in President Obama's speech, this is the Federal Government Agency they're referring to.
I watched Rachel Maddow on MSNBC tonight and her show was very informative. There is so much corruption between the federal agencies that are supposed to regulate oil drilling, and the oil companies, it's not funny.

Here's another look at what M.M.S. has been up to. Both articles together tell a very disturbing story.
M.M.S. allows drilling without needed permits

This well was drilled both as an exploratory well
and then this rig did something it doesn’t normally do, it added what’s called a production liner to the well. In other words, it prepped this particular hole to actually produce, and this rig was set to move off the hole in two days and go on to another- drill another exploratory well. They wouldn’t brought another production rig over it at the time. And then started producing it. But, this was an exploration well which was asked for some reason to finish production operations on this well and there is some inference that the company itself had lost some drilling pipe in a prior well up to $25 million worth of drilling pipe. And
one of the reasons this rig stayed on this particular well to complete the production operations was
to save money because they had lost money on a prior exploratory well. That, again, is something that needs to be looked into.
