Cameron calls BP 'morons'

SHOOT: He's right.

clipped from news.yahoo.com "Over the last few weeks I've watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what's happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don't know what they're doing," Cameron said at the All Things Digital technology conference. Cameron, the director of "Avatar" and "Titanic," has worked extensively with robot submarines and is considered an expert in undersea filming. He did not say explicitly who he meant when he referred to "those morons." "I know really, really, really smart people that work typically at depths much greater than what that well is at," Cameron said. While acknowledging that his contacts in the deep-sea industry do not drill for oil, Cameron said that they are accustomed to operating various underwater vehicles and electronic optical fiber systems. "Because if you're not monitoring it independently, you're asking the perpetrator to give you the video of the crime scene," Cameron added.
