Their opinion is based on the ranting of a right wing press (lead by the dirty digger), xenophobia and moral judgement to condemn anything perceived to be anti USA. But are they wrong? Most people would judge any action that had the potential to place the lives of their sons and daughters at risk as traitorous. In the same circumstances, so would Australia.
