he sent back a one-sentence reply that said simply, "Better be careful, we know where you live."
She said she is not asking that criminal charges be laid against Mr. Flanagan.
"I just want an apology from him and assurance that he won't harm me."
Wikileaks brings out the best in everyone.
It was so nice of them to call me at home
Although I will admit, for 2 weeks, everytime I heard a knock at my door I thought it was the RCMP.
No matter who's in power, Canada isn't as free as we like to delude ourselves into thinking.
No biggie, I was threatened by the PMO's office when Martin was in power, over a letter that somehow wound up in the wrong hands.

Tom Flanagan isn't in power, he's just another University Prof who should know better. The cons disowned him for his comments about the last Prorogation.

Good point.
Since 2004 Flanagan has been just another in a long line of Political Science Professors who shouldn't be allowed to open their mouths in public and prove the fact that education doesn't guarantee intelligence.

Shouldn't matter whether someone is in power or not. Gov't officals in ANY capacity threatening citizens that question their ethics is completely inexcusable, not to mention reprehensible!
He's now just another of the unwashed masses who happens to be the former chief of staff to Prime Minister, the operative word being former.
Saying he's speaking for the government is akin to saying anything I write or do reflects Military policy, which for obvious reasons isn't true.

Doesn't matter. If the 'loyal' opposition used the (then) 15-years in the past Mulroney/Schreiber affair as a totally pathetic backdoor attempt to bring down the Prime Minister, they'll try it again with Flanagan's comments. Yes, those other three parties are full of exactly those types of assholes who do something like that.
I actually had Flanigan as a poli-sci professor back in 1989 during my two-year half-assed attempt at getting a university degree. The class was pretty decent all around but even back then Flanigan kind of had a goofy sense of humour. I'm not surprised really that he's make this sort of stupid joke about assassinating Assange as it seems to fit Flanigans socially inept/nerd sort of personality. I'm kind of surprised though that he'd be so unaware that there'd be enemies of his in the university and in the media that would jump on this sort of opportunity to destroy him.
No citizen is allowed to make threats against another either.
Or even joke about these things. Flanagan should know that not everyone appreciates his sense of "humor".
sounds like frustration to me, not a threat and not an attempt at humor: just plain old 'tired of this shit' frustration.
No citizen is allowed to make threats against another either.
And yet it happens thousands of times everyday without charges being laid. Stupid comment, yes. Charges, no.
"Ms. Reymond says she is politically active and voted Liberal in the last federal election. She says she retired from the insurance industry three years ago."
Enough said.
WikiLeaks boss living on borrowed time
Assange and his colleagues act like spies, not journalists. WikiLeaks could have its assets seized, just like the Taliban has. And U.S. President Barack Obama could do what he’s doing to the Taliban throughout the world.
He doesn’t sue them or catch them. He kills them. Because it’s war.
Obama has even ordered the assassination of an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki.
How does Obama see Assange any differently?
Not such a biug fan of freedom os speech anymore, are we Mr. Levant. Like all partisan hacks those bedrock moral principles turn out to be a moveable feast when it suits you.
Remeber the corocodile tears and outrage when the Muslim whackjobs were threatening to kill anyone doing the Mohammed cartoons. And yet here he is doing preceisely the same thing. Hilarious. Well nearly a laugh but really a cry, to quote Roger. These clowns really make you understand how the things in Rwanda got started.
