Given that the article includes this in reference to the missing knife in the lifeboat kit I think people are grasping at straws to push their political cause. In effect reverse engineering a controversy where it may, or may not, exist.



If and when the facts become clear you may use it to push your cause. Until then it looks like cheap political opportunism. Using this before the facts are known compromises the credibility of the larger argument.

It would also be handy to have a hard copy of Transocean policies and procedures and better define where any policy originated an dhow it was enforced before making wild claims.
