    Yes, it is on going.

    These things have a natural time line which has nothing whatsoever to do with what the public wants the time line to be.

    The Exxon Valdez investigation took something on the order of a year and was in the court system for about 20 years. The BP case is much more complicated.

    Some things about the explosion are pretty well established and have been reported in many reliable medi outlets (see below). It is also possible that particular details may never be known with any certainty and that others may take many years to sort out.

    Sure you have. There were congressional hearings where they grilled the execs at BP just a few weeks ago. It's part of an ongoing investigation.
