i believe if the foreign country you are doing business with has a culture of 'gifts' and it represents a multi-billion dollar deal that helps support what is considered to be a strategic industry, then we shouldn't ask too many questions.
do i care that a bunch of saudi princes got millions in kick-backs after an endless round of parties involving coke and hookers? no, i care that we got to sell them hundreds of tornado fighter/bombers and a bunch of warships, along with support contracts that span decades!
would i start making an embarrassing fuss just before we agree to sell them over a hundred eurofighters, an act that may keep defence-aerospace alive in this country long enough to market UCAV's such as Taranis? hell no!
