HOUSTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - As BP Plc rushed to raise cash to pay for the Gulf of Mexico disaster, a partner in the out-of-control well said the British company was likely guilty of "willful misconduct" and should shoulder the financial burden for the worst U.S. oil spill.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp, owner of a quarter of the well gushing into the Gulf, broke its near-silence on the spill to squarely pin blame -- and financial responsibility for claims -- on BP.
