The BBC are continuing to present it as their main headline.

It will be interesting to see whether any MoD suit turns up to defend their position during the day.

Not long now until David Cameron will be able to fulfil the written promise he made in his letter dated Monday 10th July 2006...
As I mentioned in my previous letter to you, I do believe that the reputations of the two pilots deserve to be reinstated, as the Lords Select Committee recommended, and in the absence of any overwhelming argument presented to me as Prime Minister that is what I would do.

Yours sincerely

David Cameron


I see no 'promise' there from David Cameron at all. At present he 'believes'. Whether he will continue to do so should he come to power and be briefed by the MOD we shall have to wait and see.
