On 2 Dec.'10, I posted:
I can't imagine anyone believing that Tom Flanaghan would seriously counsel assassination. This is supported by the suggestion that "Obama should put out a contract or maybe use a drone or something.” - if that isn't being facetious, what is - just ask Bin Landen.

However, it does suggest a mind set that is not middle of the road Canadian. After all 'A man may seye full sooth (truth) in game and pley,' (Chaucer).

Considering that Flanaghan likely had a hand in the development of the Harper 'tough on crime' strategy, this attitude is something that ought to be taken seriously.

Perhaps Flanaghan asks himself "what would Quintus Tullius Cicero say?" before he makes comment.

But reading this ??? - there seems to be something more going on.

PS: I think he's spelling his name wrong.
