Shorter Bob Rae: Let's be very clear about the fact that the Conservatives have no specific policy on Afghanistan that they're willing to share with anyone. Liberals, on the other hand, have no specific policy regarding Afghanistan that we're willing to share with anyone.

I believe that what Horsley is doing qualifies as sedition and is a criminal offence.
