MARKET TALK: Hayward's Approach 'Infuriatingly Passive'

4:08 (Dow Jones) BP CEO Tony Hayward's approach in a hostile congressional hearing is fairly straightforward. He "isn't interested in winning anything, here, he's just interested in letting the hearing time out by being infuriatingly passive and unhelpful," Reuters blogger Felix Salmon says. "He's simply letting the attacks come, refusing to show any spark of humanity or willingness to engage."
