Well, mazel tov to 'em both.  I had no doubt that Cockburn was on a 
polar-route pleasure excursion of some sort and was mystified by his attempt 
to gussy up an obvious junket as a fact-finding mission -- "direct review of 
the ice cap" -- with all the gravitas of the Franklin Expedition.  It's hard 
to say who's more preposterous these days -- Cockburn or Hitchens -- both of 
whom are in urgent need of getting their idées fixes fixed.
