6 Suspects in Lapindo case

East Java police has named six workers as suspects in the Lapindo Brantas Inc environmental disaster that forced thousands of people living in tents due to unstoppable hot mudflow from Lapindo's Banjar Panji-1 drilling well in Sidoarjo, East Java.

Detik.com reported on Tuesday that two Lapindo staffs and four workers of PT Medici Citra Nusa---Lapindo's drilling contractor have been named suspects.
East Java Police Chief Herman Suryadi Sumawiredja said there is possibility that higher ranking officers of both companies will also be named suspects.
"It's impossible to have blue-collar workers only as suspects. Decision makers could be named suspects as well," he said.
So far so good. Let's hope that police could go farther than this.

Why are we so obsessed with going for "higher ranking officers" like it's a conspiracy. There was a casing fault. It was a screw up. There is no evidence of anything criminal. There seems to be an overwhelming desire to find conspiracies under each rock. It was a mistake; arguably negligence. Compensation should be paid if negligence is determined to have happened. But that does not make the matter criminal. It means someone screwed up, not that there was an INTENTION to cause environmental harm.
