Abstract
As former director of Jesuit Refugee Service Southern Sudan David Palmer remarked in his article yesterday, passion often trumps reasoned argument in discussion of asylum seekers. So I welcome the clarity and courtesy with which he makes his ethical case for the Malaysian solution. Although I agree with many of his points, I would like, with equal civility, to argue against his conclusions.
