Here is another link on Hitchens. It has quite a bit of biographical information, and around 2,000 comments pro and con. I did not know that he was pro Iraq war. He was good at throwing stuff at both the right and left if he felt their thinking was flawed.

The one thing that I liked about Hitchens is that he was extremely honest and forthright.

One always knew where he stood on any issue.

He was a complicated person in that he held views on both the left and the right.

You couldn’t pigeon hole him.
