Group Sues for Gov’t Records on Spill Size
------------------------------------------



The environmental whistleblower group Public Employees for Environmental
Responsibility, or PEER, has filed a lawsuit seeking the full release of
government documents on the size of the oil spill. PEER says it wants to
uncover whether government officials deliberately withheld scientific
data to lowball estimates of the amount oil that spewed into the Gulf.
