10,000 Barrels Per Day

BP is currently siphoning 10,000 barrels of oil per day from the Deepwater Horizon blowout preventer. Why are they being permitted to keep, refine and sell that oil?

Adding... I think we often overlook the mindset of the corporation. When you and I look at the video of the oil spewing from the leak, we see tragedy and destruction. When men and women in board rooms and stockholder meetings see the oil spewing from the leak, they see money. Literally, the oil is money to them and every drop that's not collected is money lost. That's how they think.
