From Ring of Fire:

“Mike Papantonio of Ring of Fire Radio discusses the history of BP and Halliburton, including their past as convicted felons. These two felons are responsible for the oil spill that is dumping millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, and we’re supposed to expect them to tell us the truth about what happened? Given their histories, that seems highly unlikely.”

Mike mentions the case of Jamie Leigh Jones that Halliburton left locked in a shipping container after she was raped until she agreed to sign a waiver not to sue them.

Sound familiar? We can add Transocean to Pap’s list as well.
