Whoever is in charge of BP's image is either dumb or just doesn't care at all. One would think BP would try to keep a low profile since the Gulf Oil Spill, but no. Since then, CEO Tony Hayward has went on a yacht vacation and now, BP has lobbied the release of a convicted criminal for oil purposes.Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi is from oil rich Libya. He was convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight on Dec. 21, 1988 killing 259 people on board and 11 on the ground. He only served 8 years of a 27-year after the Scottish government released him on compassionate grounds because of his prostate cancer. When did the prison system grow a heart?
So BP felt that by having a hand in this man's release, they could negotiate doing business together in the oil industry. As if Libya would thank them for bringing home their hero.
This has got to be a joke. What is going on with the world today? What's next BP? Are you going to befriend Al-Queda?
