To me, this settlement is nothing more than a broad brush attempt by BP's highest officials to evade full responsibility for a still evolving catastrophe.
"Then came my second term as Prime Minister and a new U.S. President who told me to freeze settlements.
After years of traveling through the West Bank and South Africa, it's blindingly clear to me: the ever-expanding settlements are, indeed, carving out the geography of West Bank apartheid.
Obama has used the term himself to refer to construction in East Jerusalem, and Cooper told me, "I called them settlements because that's the heart of the dispute between the Israelis and the United States: settlement construction in Arab East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want for an eventual Palestinian state".
In an interview with the Boston Herald, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass). said that that "'as a Jew,' Israeli treatment of Arabs around some of the West Bank settlements 'makes me ashamed that there would be Jews that would engage in that kind of victimization of a minority.'".
Eventually my map led me to a settlement where I stopped to ask a villager for directions to Bukovets.
He is reliably plugged in, able to connect me with the settlement's devils and angels and everything in between.
He told me that the settlement reinforces two important points: that the Reid technique can be coercive, and that lying to a suspect during a police interview can be enormously damaging.
Recently, I met with Guillory at his new office, at Lone Star Legal Aid, a nonprofit run out of an old clapboard house that used to be a bordello, and he took me through the settlement's details.
But the highlight for me was the settlement of Skara Brae, where you can still see the stone dresser on which a proud Iron Age housewife would have displayed her most precious objects.
