The problem is that I cannot imagine being in the situation of having something that’s clearly complete and utter bollocks in front of me with no proof and agreeing to buy x million of the things. It’s absolutely tragic that bombs went undetected and that as a consequence people were murdered, but why, WHY weren’t questions asked about these things at the very start?
It’s despicable and morally indefensible to sell the things but my original argument that this was signed off into high levels of government in all countries concerned still stands, and if we’re sending people to prison for this, we should be sending far more than one or two.
Someone mentioned a bulletproof vest analogy – well, if I placed a string vest on the table and told you that it protected you from bullets, grenades, sunburn, nuns, and attacks from flying saucers, would you really take that on trust?
