WASHINGTON – Two former Interior secretaries told Congress they did not anticipate an accident as large as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
But Gale Norton and Dirk Kempthorne say no one else did either — including members of Congress who are now blaming the Bush administration for failing to prevent the tragedy.
Kempthorne, who served as Interior secretary from 2006 to January 2009, while George W quick cash. Bush was president, said he did not recall being asked at his confirmation hearing or in later congressional testimony about major oil spills.
