ABC's Brian Ross flashed back to the first 20 days of the oil leak, when the videostream of the seabed gusher was kept secret. "BP says the tapes were in the hands of the Coast Guard and the government all along but the Coast Guard says BP would not release the tapes." Ross reran soundbites from both Admiral Mary Landry of the USCG and Secretary Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security, warning back then against a "fixation" on measuring the volume of the leak. He explained that it would be in BP's interest for the videostream to be suppressed, since it would prevent an independent calculation of the per-barrel-per-day fine that the corporation will eventually have to pay.
Ross concluded that the Coast Guard's relationship with BP is "far too cozy."
