Her pretended outrage was patently false from the outset as she hadn’t reacted to other much worse events in recent times. Where, for example, was Clark’s outrage at sales of real and fake New Zealand passports to suspected Al Qaida terrorists in Thailand? Most Kiwis aren’t even aware of that story. Funny that.

It doesn’t take a doctorate in nuclear physics to figure out that Clark timed the release of this “apology” (which she’d been sitting on for weeks) to take the thunder out of (pro-Israeli) opposition leader Don Brash’s excellent speech to the National party conference. Fran O’Sullivan wrote an excellent piece on this in The Herald a couple days ago.

I think Ms Clark should be more concerned about the Al Qaida sleeper cells which have probably already infested New Zealand. They pose the real danger.
