"Oil Spill Panel Faces Challenges, Criticism as It Begins Work"

"The presidential commission appointed to study the causes of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and to recommend improvements for offshore drilling has navigated tight spots as it prepares to begin work this week.

Unlike the commissions that investigated space-shuttle accidents and the Three Mile Island nuclear incident, the Deepwater panel must analyze what went wrong while things still are going wrong."

Mary Pat Flaherty reports for the Washington Post July 12, 2010.
