... this is actually very unusual.

Our right wing government is all about "fighting terrorism", "supporting the troops" and "getting tough on crime". They've been lying to us about the cost of these jets for years, and the auditors have been beating them up over it constantly.

The fact that, after all the deceit and outright falsehoods, they're actually admitting they were wrong is quite significant. These people *never* admit that they're wrong.
