How can any Republican justify blocking the granting of subpoena power to the BP OIL SPILL commission?

Because while they preach personal accountability, they violently oppose corporate responsibility. No. They would compensate BP for its loss.

I don't know but my guess is they were preventing an unnecessary witch hunt. A witch hunt that was scripted to lead to cap and tax. BP has already paid billions and the oil mostly cleaned itself up.

There's nothing else to demand from them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
