Former BP Contractor: BP’s "Bottom Line is Just About Money"
------------------------------------------------------------



A former BP contractor has accused the oil company of focusing on its
profits more than cleaning up the oil spill. Up until recently Adam
Dillon, served as a liaison between the media and the BP security
contractors. In that position Dillon reportedly rebuffed attempts by
reporters to observe cleanup operations in Grand Isle, Louisiana. Dillon
was fired after taking photos that he believes were related to the use
of dispersants and to the cleanup of the oil. Adam Dillon spoke recently
to the New Orleans station WDSU.

Adam Dillon: "There are some very great, hardworking individuals in
there. But the bottom line is just about money. There are some very
cutthroat individuals. They’re not worried about cleaning up that spill
as it is... I will never have loyalty to this company. I will always
have loyalty to my country. And my country comes first. What this
company is doing to this country right now is just wrong."
