The US has recently discovered what the Brits already knew. BP was one of the companies that pushed hard for the release of Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, "The Lockerbie Bomber."
It is felt and the British PM is denying it that BP brought pressure to free him in exchange for lucrative contracts with Libya.
I think this could be heated so I started the thread here but I don't really know what to think about it. If true and I think it is true, it means BP is as evil as Exxon. Not a huge shock, very big Oil Company is evil is not hard at all to see.
