DISTURBED frontman David Draiman was recently asked by AOL’s Noisecreep if he had an opinion about the BP crisis. "I have a significant one," he replied. "I think it is an embarrassment and it is unforgivable. We should have sent every available resource the minute it occurred, but watchdog organizations are in bed with these people and nothing is done. I think that it is ridiculous that we didn’t accept aid from the Saudis right away; the freighters they have, and have used, with suction capabilities?"

He continued, "We left it to BP, who did not take accurate measurements of oil and who lied all along. All they are concerned about is diverting and saving the constantly leaking orifice instead of damming it up and losing the oil. They aren’t worried about saving an ecosystem and way of life of fisherman along the Gulf Coast."

Draiman also deemed the White House’s reaction to the BP spill as "tantamount to how Bush handled Katrina. It gets worse every day. The marine life is hardest hit, since they have to come to the surface to breathe and instead take in the toxins. I am beyond disgusted with the situation. I have followed it like a madman. It’s unforgivable."
