MV-22 Osprey vs Okinawa Prefectural Assembly

It seems that the Assembly thinks that since a plane in the flight test phase nine years ago had problems that it must still represent a hazard.  Does this also mean that they want the U.S. to ban all future Toyota imports because a few had problems three years ago?  What about banning ALL cars because in the 50s none of them had seat belts?  Get a clue, people!  The plane may indeed be unsafe, but you don't base that determination on the performance of flight test articles a decade ago.
