I don't believe anyone is objective. All I suggested was that Hitchens was not a lapdog for Bush. Here is an interview with him, judge for yourself:
http://www.worldmag.com/articles/11908 He is one whacky guy, a marxist who broke off a 20 year relationship with "The Nation" over the Iraq War. A hard-drinking anti-theist who is nevertheless anti-abortion. I agree with him on some things, not on others, and in general I enjoy his journalism. As for Wilson's role, don't just take Hitchens' word for it. The Senate has a 48 page section on Wilson in the Intelligence Committee's report on the Administration's case for war in Iraq in which they conclude that almost everything Wilson said publicly about his Niger trip was false. And that is what I object to in regards to Wilson. Had he told the truth, that would have been fine. But he dissembled from start to finish. Why? IMHO, he was just another political actor playing the game for his own benefit. On 7/12/06, Dana wrote: > > OK so...re paragraph 2. I took the time to take a look at your link.
