AL points to what could be a new low for the Australian:

Cloud Kirby land
Pampered Kirby is out of touch with the real world
IT is disappointing but necessary to have to explain the difference between murder and illness to a member of Australia's highest court. But once again, High Court judge Michael Kirby has shown just how out of touch he really is with the community he is supposed to serve. Justice Kirby dismissed what he called the US "obsession" with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon in which 2900 people were killed. Justice Kirby said more people died every day from AIDS than died in the attack on the Twin Towers.
[... snip. The final line, emphasis added...]
The irony is it is Justice Kirby and his ilk who would no doubt fare worst should the enemies of democracy whom they defend ever get their way.


.... wow. classy. Apparently Justice Kirby <3 Osama now, because he raised questions in the Jihad Jack case. I can't imagine why Alexander Downer gets someone from the Australian to write his speeches - oh wait. It's because he's also an offensive cumstain of a person.

See also AL's piece for the utterly vile Peter Faris in Crikey, hammering the same bullshit with even less subtlety.
