That reminds me: in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, a day or so before
Hitchens mounted the charge against the "Chomsky-Zinn-Finkelstein
quarter", there was an NPR commentary from Andrei Codrescu.  He chastised
Chomsky *& Hitchens* (but not Ward Churchill, as usual) for, as Andrei
spun it, claiming the attacks were chickens coming home to roost.

About the time Ceausescu died, Codrescu had an admirable commentary where
he claimed that with the end of the nightmare of the USSR, socialism
could finally be dreamed of again...
