Pipeline Company Indicted over California Oil Spill
---------------------------------------------------

And a company whose pipeline burst near Santa Barbara, California, last
year, spilling up to 143,000 gallons of crude oil, has been indicted on
dozens of criminal counts, including four felony charges. Plains All
American Pipeline could face up to $2.8 million in fines, a tiny
fraction of the $43 billion in revenue it reported the year before the
leak. An employee of the company also faces three misdemeanor charges.
