Hitchens was on the Chalie Rose show last night in a 'debate' with some
guy (Eric Alterman), a 'liberal'. it was painful..... the kneejerk kind of
things hitchens was saying was so easy to respond to...and that liberal
guy couldn't handle it. 

Hitchens actually said something to the effect that Hussein was a threat
because in the long run he would seek to procure WMDs from N. Korea after
the government of N. Korea inevitably implodes...... Hitchens was getting
into T. Friedman territory.
