BP gladly accepts blame for half of one of eight problems that led to disaster

What else should we expect from BP? Why is the US government still doing business with this revolting company? Until they sign an unconditional document accepting all costs for their mistake, it's unclear why they are still allowed to make a profit from the US.

BP on Wednesday released an internal report blaming itself but also partners for the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and oil spill, but its key partner, Transocean Ltd., quickly lashed out, calling it a "self-serving report" that minimized what it said was critical: BP's "fatally flawed" well design.

"This is a self-serving report that attempts to conceal the critical factor that set the stage for the Macondo incident: BP's fatally flawed well design," Transocean said in a statement released shortly after BP released its internal review. "In both its design and construction, BP made a series of cost-saving decisions that increased risk — in some cases, severely."
