Is the Oil Spill Staged?

“We are not the enemy here.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN reporter (referring to the media blackout surrounding the oil spill)

Let me say up front that, personally, I don’t believe that the oil spill disaster was staged (although I believe that much of the clean-up may well be).  So why do I bring up the possibility?  Because we are being lied to by both the federal government and BP, and at this point all possible explanations for the oil spill need to remain on the table.
