Down in the Gulf of Mexico, BP is said to be "pleased" with the effort thus far to recap the oil leak, an effort that they took up in earnest over the weekend. But at least one former BP contractor, Adam Dillon, is less than pleased with his BP paymasters and has come forward to talk about his experiences to WDSU in New Orleans. Over at ThinkProgress, Brad Johnson has more:
(by Steven Senne, AP) BP Managing Director Bob Dudley is taking over cleanup duties in the gulf from embattled CEO Tony Hayward. On Friday, July 9th, contractor-turned-whistle blower Adam Dillon told New Orleans television station WDSU he was fired "after taking photos that he believes were related to the use of dispersants and to the cleanup of the oil."
As a BP liaison, he had rebuffed reporters' attempts to observe cleanup operations in Grand Isle, LA, in June, before being promoted to the BP Command Center near Houma, LA. At the command center BP manages the private contractors running practically every aspect of the spill response. Dillon, a former U.S. Army Special Operations soldier, "has lost faith in the company in charge."

While we haven't heard of Dillon by name before, we've met him. He was one of the contractors that headed off WDSU's Scott Walker in his attempt to interview BP clean-up crews on Grand Isle. Here's video of that incident:
