Interesting to note how we write comments practicaly at the same time!  :-)
I think you are perfectly correct in stressing the role of corruption. 
Companies are in a pretty difficult position in view of the competition. 
However, there is the conduct codes of international companies, if they have 
one, that can be studied.
OK. this is OT. I'll stop here.

Samuel's image, in itself is good. I would suggest something a bit more 
colourful to enhance the contrast od the oil spill. For instance, colour the 
map of Africa.
