Diplomatic riff between US and Britain---millions of Brits pensions invested in BP

BP is the largest British owned corporation. Expected huge penalties on company and recent downturn in BP stock price (was down 50 % as of yesterday--since oil disaster) has frightened many in Britain, bringing calls from the Brits for a tone-down in rhetoric directed at the company. Don't know if these statements by the British govt. caused it, but today BP's stock bounced back several percentage points.
