infrogmationTimes-Picayune: Bird rescuers race to save oiled wildlife in Gulf oil spill:
”Although BP didn’t have plans for dealing with an oil spill from a deepwater rig, local wildlife officials were prepared with cages for animal rescues in the event of a spill.
“‘I’m impressed that there is this level of preparedness,’ Salazar said.”
Louis Maistros at HumidCity Help Save Our Wildlife Now responds in part:
"Interior Secretary Ken Salazar need not be surprised. The people of the gulf stand at the ready to defend their coastal wildlife from corporate thuggery at all times because they have always known there would be a need for it. Meanwhile, the corporate thugs who callously provide such a need, feign surprise at the magnitude of the disaster that they created while knowing full well their own unpreparedness is absent in lieu of any immediately beneficial impact to their bottom line. It is ghastly math in action."

One of the most puzzling things about this country to me is the totally irrational faith people have in 'the private sector.' "The government" can't do anything right (except execute people; there it's absolutely infallible) but somehow "the wisdom of the marketplace" will always find the best way. Aynn Rand really has a lot to answer for.
