great read; surprised Hitchens isn't drawing more of an audience on FR tonight. Would that gutless wimp Olbermann dare have him on to dispute his "honest media" coverage claims ?
I guess Christopher isn't going say so for obvious reasons, but Graydon Carter, James Woolcott, Michael Wolff, and the rest of the prevaricators and BDS sufferers at Vanity Fair magazine have done some of the very worst reporting and distorting on this war.

"CH: No, I can't say that I do think that. I mean, maybe Cynthia McKinney, who is not exactly a leader. She seems sometimes to talk in a sort of MoveOn.org manner, but no, I think that we're far from that in this case. I think what you have there is again, a sort of fatalism, the feeling that if you can say a war is unwinnable, you've also said it's wrong. In other words, that you would desert the side you were on if you thought things were going badly. That's a moral degeneracy of a different kind. "
