From some weeks back...

From today's (13th April) The Sunday Times:

Des Browne, the defence secretary, appears to have misled MPs when he told them an independent report had ruled that the RAF’s Nimrod aircraft were safe to fly.
When Mick wrote the above article, and in his follow up posts, he seemed sure SoS was definately misleading the house; I'm interested to know if he still holds that view as his quote above implies he acknowledges that the statement "although the aircraft was only "tolerably safe" and not ALARP it was nevertheless safe" could actually be a valid and reasonable one.
