BP spill nearly cleaned

Or so says a spokesman for the oil company this morning, according to Reuters. About 1,000 barrels of a refined petroleum product began leaking from a BP-owned pipeline at the Port of Long Beach (a pipeline that the company acquired with the purchase of Arco). Obviously, there's lots of sensitivity here, considering what happened in Prudhoe Bay a few weeks ago, and yet the leak, first detected on Friday, wasn't disclosed until Tuesday afternoon.
