BP's worst mistake turns 3 today
Today is the third anniversary of one of Big Oil's worst contributions to recent history. That's right, I'm talking about Deepwater Horizon. But we have some good news: Pakistan's former leader Pervez Musharraf has appeared at an anti-terrorism court over claims he illegally detained judges in 2007. Mr Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan between 1999 and 2007, was arrested yesterday. The High Court ruled that the allegations amounted to an act of terrorism and ordered him to appear at Islamabad's anti-terror court. But Mr Musharraf has described the case against him as politically motivated. In other news, Allen H. Neuharth, the newspaper visionary and former Gannett chairman who founded USA TODAY, died yesterday at the age of 89 at his home in Cocoa Beach, Florida. He was an innovator who used satellite technology to create a national newspaper that has become the second largest in the United States.
