COMMON SENSE suggests that there’s still BP-spilled oil on the
bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and that storms can easily stir it
up and send it ashore. Now, scientific tests confirm that this
very thing occurred during Hurricane Isaac, which should be a
reminder to everyone — including BP — that the cleanup process
is far from over. BP has said it will work to take care of the
oil found on Elmer’s Island and Grand Isle in Louisiana, which
Louisiana State University scientists said were "good solid
matches" for the type from BP’s Macondo well. Two other samples
from another barrier island, however, didn’t match. If similar

accountable for the spill itself. In fact, Auburn University is
testing to determine the source of 100 pounds of tarballs found
on Alabama beaches after the recent hurricane. Both the Auburn
and LSU teams enjoy a high level of credibility because they
