"I hear one message — don't blame me," said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. Tuesday as company executives pointed the finger at each other in a Congressional hearing on the Gulf oil spill.
"Shifting the blame game doesn't get us very far," he added.
Officials from BP PLC, Transocean Ltd. and Halliburton Inc. testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. BP, the operator of the Deepwater Horizon platform that exploded Apr 20, blamed the spill on the manufacturer of the failed blowout preventer. That company pointed the finger back, saying BP was in charge of the operation and faulted Halliburton for improperly plugging the exploratory well. Halliburton in turn doubled down the blame on BP.
The Senators expressed irritation with the execs' failure to accept responsibility for the explosion that killed 11 workers and subsequent spill that has poured over four million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
