Even in his communication to the coast guard, he acknowledged it is important to know. but publicly it's irrelevant. >> how long are we going to let them tell us what they're going to do. when is the government going to say, get out the way, we'll measure it. why are we letting bp still run the show? >> the story is saying the government wants them to put more instruments down there. so they can better measure. >> right, new sensors in the new containment. >> why don't we just have someone go down and put the sensors and send them the bill. doug suttles is lying. he just out and out bold faced...
