Didn’t agree with Hitchens 100% of the time but I really miss reading what he had to write.
I admired him greatly even when I disagreed with him.
However, his God is not Great was over the edge. I hope he now knows how wrong he was.
Who do you call for help in such a circumstance?
Hanson's wife decided to call Christopher Hitchens, doubtless because she knew of his extraordinary international network of friends and acquaintances. Hitchens came through for VDH. Soon after his emergency surgery, Hanson was visited by a Libyan-American neurosurgeon and later by the American chargé d’affaires.

Had there been a problem with the surgery or post-op care, Hitchens' help might have saved Hanson's life.
Wit? Yes. Warmth? Uuuh..
