A little naive I would suggest!

Remember you only know what the press what you to know about this matter. 'BAE innocent of corruption' would hardly give the pinko journos an excuse to bash them now would it. There is more at stake here than UK Plc being able to have the pompous attitude of we're whiter-than-white, whilst every other arms dealing country does what is required to seal the deal.
