CBS news crew threatened of arrest by BP contractors/coast guard while covering oil slick on beach..

Heavy Sludge Oozes into Marshes of Louisiana

CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella reports it's an ominous sight. The oil is thick and black and stretches about a quarter mile down a beach. It goes beyond the booms into the sensitive marsh lands which are home to migratory birds.

When CBS News tried to reach the beach, covered in oil, a boat of BP contractors with two Coast Guard officers on board told us to turn around under threat of arrest. Coast Guard officials said they are looking into the incident.

So now BP is acting as a oversight authority and is trying to block the information pertaining to the oil slick from getting into the public domain. This could be an attempt to keep the sheeple in the dark about the true extent of the oil slick disaster and an environmental catastrophe that has been unleashed in the Gulf of Mexico.

that is correct

that will feed us what lies, errr I mean info
they want us to have. Sheeple in the dark
is right where they want us.

Citizen journalists are becoming that much more important right now people.
