AUSTRALIAN SOLDIER'S DEATH ELICITS PATHETIC REACTION

Lefty academic Tim Dunlop reacts to a soldier's death with this:

I wonder if the prime minister or his foreign minister will get, read and remember any cables about this. I wonder if they’ll recall the information in six months time.

Dunlop could have described the circumstances and expressed condolences to the family. Instead he turns a sad event into an attack on the government. Pathetic.

My condolences to this young soldier's loved ones.

Update: This isn't the first time Dunlop has tried to score points from an unfortunate death. (The Dunlop LA Times link no longer works; the article is available here.)
