thanks for the link. It's well worth reading.

it's interesting (to me, at least) that Hitchens' writing (in the
NATION) became much less beautiful for awhile in 2002. He was quite
muddled Then he decided he supported the war against Iraq and suddenly
his style improved and his clarity returned to normal. It's definitely
too bad that his mind cleared in the wrong way...
