As BP moves to plug damaged well in Gulf, officials defend response

BP is making another attempt to stop the flow of oil gushing deep below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, with a method known as a "top kill." The plan is to inject a thick mud into the oil well to push the oil down then seal it with cement, but experts say it has a fifty percent chance of working. As FSRN goes to air, the procedure was underway with its results unknown.

Meanwhile, Administration officials defended their response to the ongoing disaster before a House panel today. They repeated their promise to make B-P pay for all costs associated with the spill. Tanya Snyder has more from Washington.
