Academics, environmentalists and federal investigators have accused the administration since the April spill of downplaying scientific findings, misrepresenting data and most recently misconstruing the opinions of experts it solicited.
Meanwhile, the owner of the rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, Transocean Ltd., is renewing its argument that federal investigators are in danger of allowing the blowout preventer, a key piece of evidence, to corrode as it awaits forensic analysis.

Before the Obama Administration sweeps under the carpet the controversy over the drilling experts it falsely used to justify its moratorium...
...there was no discussion of a moratorium on existing drilling. "Because if anybody had [made that suggestion], we'd have said 'that's craziness.'"
Ken Arnold, an engineer and consultant, said the changes went beyond just the drilling moratorium...
Yet when the final report came out, the timelines he saw had been removed... Mr. Arnold adds that the Administration's decision to allow industry to continue drilling "gas injection wells"—which, he says, are no more risky than production wells—only shows the moratorium makes "no sense."
"This was a political call; this was not a technical call," says Mr. Arnold...
