Composite Structures in Aircraft-Are they safe ?

http://www.yachtsurvey.com/composite...n_aircraft.htm

There has been questions in the past about the use of composites in aircraft structures,many light aircraft have super critical wings which do not allow paint a third of the wing leading edge,there have been structural failures with carbon fibre on the Concorde rudder,now it looks as if more problems have come to light,read this latest report and judge for yourself ?
