In a shockingly flippant comment to a Canadian television news anchor Evan
Solomon of the CBC News Network on live TV, Tom Flanagan, a senior advisor and
strategist to the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper today called for the
assassination of Wikileaks director Julian Assange . It is believed to be the
first ever televised "fatwa" since the edict by the Iranian leadership of the
late Ayatollah Khomeini against British writer Salman Rushdie in February 1989.
Amazingly, although news anchor Solomon afforded Flanagan the opportunity to
retract his statement, Flanagan balked at doing so and instead reiterated that
U.S. President should put out a "contract" on Assange or use "a drone" and that
he would not be unhappy if Assange "disappeared." Flanagan who is a trusted
member of PM Harper's inner circle of Tory strategists joins Sarah Palin in
calling for the death of the Wikileaks director as retribution for the website's
release of confidential diplomatic and intelligence "chatter" this week.
