Alterman

[Peter K.]

Tis a sad day when Alterman makes more sense than Hitchens who, for some
reason or another (the loss of his friend Barbara Olson?), has fallen in
line with Marty Peretz and Andrew Sullivan. He hasn't come out for
bombing -- yet. The Nation waits . . .

    I haven't seen any evidence Hitchens has fallen in line with Peretz or
Sullivan.

    For instance, I doubt either would pass on the fact that the Colin
Powell

    gave are great friends in the Taliban $43 million just four months ago
to

    help in their war on drugs. To me, the war on terrorism is starting to
sound

    like the war on drugs, with its own cabinet position, or czar, etc.
