Letter: Excuses for selling arms
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr John Morgan
Sir: While it is important that the scrutiny of parliamentary democracy and policy making triggered by the publication of the Scott report should be sustained, we should also consider the broader issues involved in the affair.
Does the Government feel that the export of defence-related equipment is an appropriate economic activity for a modern civil society to promote (all the way up to ministerial level), no matter how odious the recipients? And, if so, would it defend the right of other governments to supply, say, the IRA?
Yours faithfully,
John Morgan
