US-OIL-POLLUTION
US Homeland Security Secretary Janet speaks to the media with members of a congressional delegation on May 24, 2010 in Galliano, Louisiana. US officials piled pressure on BP Monday ahead of a make-or-break operation to plug the Gulf of Mexico oil leak, as fragile shorelines and rare birds became smothered in more thick crude. Secretary Napolitano and pointed out that this was the largest response to an oil spill in US history with 1,000 vessels and 22,000 people deployed. "We continue to hold BP responsible, but we are on them, watching them. It's not until this well is sealed and the ocean in this area is cleaned up and the claims are paid that this incident will be deemed over," she said. Congress members shown are Senator Mary Landrieu (behind)D-LA, and Senator David Vitter(R) R-LA. AFP PHOTO STEPHANE JOURAIN
