BP Privately Estimated Higher Spill Rate Than It Publicly Disclosed
-------------------------------------------------------------------



Newly disclosed documents, meanwhile, show BP has maintained higher
estimates of the spill gushing in the Gulf than it’s made publicly
disclosed. According to the Associated Press, BP secretly made a
worst-case estimate of 60,000 barrels a day sometime last month. The
figure is far higher than BP had said until this week.
