NEW ORLEANS -- The anger is palpable across the Mississippi Delta. As the Deepwater Horizon oil geyser, almost a mile underwater, continues unabated, the brunt of this, the largest environmental catastrophe in United States history, is rolling onto the coast, impacting the ecology, the economy and entire ways of life.
I travelled across the bayous and towns of coastal Louisiana for four days, meeting the people on the front lines of the onrush of BP's oil slick. They are angry, out of work and read the papers about people getting sick.
