Threat of terrorism overblown, says Kirby ( Australian High Court Judge)

Threat of terrorism overblown, says Kirby

"The High Court judge Michael Kirby has urged Australia's security chiefs and judges not to exaggerate the risk of terrorism, saying that more people die of AIDS every day than were killed in the World Trade Centre in the September 11 attacks.

AIDS, poverty, malaria and ethnic violence "are more potent dangers for more members of humanity that the terrorism of al-Qaeda", Justice Kirby said."

"He also cautioned against always following the US Government in its response to terrorism, warning it "may sometimes be misguided and prone to excess"."
