Well, can it bring oil up into those ships to actually measure the flow rate? we called bp to get answers on float rate and what it means for the liability. the government is determining the flow rate and the question should go to the unified command. bp, the spokesman said, is cooperating with the government. when asked why they won't comment on possible fines or how they're being determined, the spokesperson hung up on us. not the first time. we called unified command asking to speak to thad allen or spokesperson. we were told they had to, quote, kick it upstairs for those answers. we were p...

Tony hayward's immediate reaction to all this was defensive. they went in cover-up mode, wouldn't verify anything and started virtually misleading people. i don't think at this point anybody thinks tony hayward did a good job. why possibly would he stay on his job? it's unfortunate. what we never felt from bp was the heart. here, people died in the deepwater horizon incident. a whole region struck. they always seem to be spinning us that it wasn't their fault. the finger pointing with the other companies and president obama then had to come in and say this is ridiculous behavior. it's been a j...

>> if that happens, you're never going to get a chance to measure the flow rate. >> we're going to talk to congressman markey about that, he has real concerns about that, because that's a multmultibilli dollar equation there. because bp is going to be charged based on how many barrels were actually pouring out. the difference could be tens of billions of dollars. i appreciate you talking with us. up next, ed markey with more on bp's incentive to kill this well fast and never let another drop of oil out of it, even if it goes on to a ship, and not into the water. and later, some of the firs...
