Shell to court: We're ready to drill Arctic Ocean

Shell Oil is ready to drill in the Arctic Ocean this summer and asked a federal appeals court Thursday to rule quickly on a challenge by environmentalists concerned about the risk of a major spill after the Gulf of Mexico disaster.

Kathleen Sullivan, an attorney for Shell, said the company has spent at least $3.5 billion on Alaska operations in the past few years as it prepares for exploratory drilling set for July in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas.

"Shell has waited years to recover its investment," Sullivan told a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Portland. "We're ready to go."

"I'm sure Shell would like to win," replied Chief Judge Alex Kozinski.

But a coalition of environmentalists and Native Alaska groups who are challenging the drilling plans told the court the federal Minerals Management Service failed to consider the potential threat to wildlife and the risk for disaster before it approved the Shell project.

Christopher Winter, an attorney for the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission, said the Interior Department agency "simply ignored key aspects" about the possible effects of drilling operations on bowhead whales, including interruption of feeding patterns.

David Shilton, a Justice Department lawyer representing the minerals service, responded by saying studies have shown noise from drilling has only a "temporary and minor" effect on the whales, whose population is healthy and has been increasing.

Deirdre McDonnell, the attorney for the Native Village of Point Hope in Alaska, the lead petitioners in the case, argued that Shell had not made adequate plans to deal with an emergency, such as a major spill.

The Shell plan, for example, "doesn't say what happens if the drill ship is disabled or has sunk," McDonnell told the judges.

She also said government did not consider the cumulative impact of drilling in the Arctic Ocean.

Sullivan argued, however, the government must consider the facts at hand rather than "speculative" future impact and Shell has made extensive plans that include dealing with "the remote and infinitesimal likelihood of a spill."

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced last December the Minerals Management Service had conditionally approved plans by Shell to drill three exploratory wells in the Chukchi Sea, saying environmentally responsible exploration is a key component of reducing dependence on foreign oil.

Conditional approval for exploration in the Beaufort Sea came last October, as part of the development of oil leases sold under the Bush administration and upheld by the Obama administration in March.Shell Oil is ready to drill in the Arctic Ocean this summer and asked a federal... more

New Details: Hanged Census Worker was Gagged and Naked

More news has surfaced about the conditions surrounding the death of Bill Sparkman, the Census worker found hanged in rural Kentucky on September 12th. According to a witness who discovered the Sparkman's body, he was was "naked, gagged and had his hands and feet bound with duct tape." Jerry Weaver of Fairfield, Ohio also confirmed that an ID card was taped to Sparkman's shoulder area, a fact authorites have confirmed. In previous reports, authorties confirmed that the word "fed" was written on Sparkman's chest.

There is no doubt in Weaver's mind what happened to Bill Sparkman: "He was murdered. There's no doubt."

Weaver told the AP in an interview about the state of Sparkman's body when he and some fellow family members discovered it:

"The only thing he had on was a pair of socks," Weaver said. "And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something."

"And they even had duct tape around his neck. And they had like his identification tag on his neck. They had it duct-taped to the side of his neck, on the right side, almost on his right shoulder."

Authorties have release few official details surrounding Sparkman's death, but these new details seem to confirm the fears of many, that Sparkman may have been targeted because he worked for the federal government. An alternative theory, that Sparkman may have stumbled into an area rife with illegal drug activity had been raised as if it removes suspicion that Sparkman was a victim because of his part-time census work. Indeed, being bound, gagged, and hanged and having the word "fed" written across your chest would seem to confirm that while the original motive may not have been related to his being a Census employee, it certainly played a role in the minds of those who killed him.
As ThinkProgress points out tonight:

"The gruesome lynching of this Census worker seems to bear a disturbing similarity to some of the worst hate crimes committed across this country. Regardless of what the motive for the killing may have been, why would a murderer(s) take such pains to so blatantly convey anger, fear, and vitriol towards a Census employee? Perhaps because some on the right have created an impression that Census employees are terrifying."
