BP proudly announced today that it was siphoning off 5,000 barrels a day of oil. 5,000 barrels being the estimated rate of flow that BP has steadfastly refused to alter for weeks. Well, that should mean that we're getting ALL the oil now, right?

But wouldn't you know it: Oil is still gushing into the Gulf, forcing BP to admit that it's initial estimates were wrong.

Lies? Ignorance? Both? You be the judge.
