...events to occur periodically, they should also question why he allows malaria, malnutrition and waterborne diseases to take millions of lives every year. We should not believe God will intervene in every cataclysmic event.

It also rekindled debate about whether democracies can fight global terrorism without sacrificing their most cherished legal principles. Habib's case, says Law Council of Australia president Stephen Southwood, QC, "shows the danger of depriving people of the ordinary protections of the criminal law.
