I’m not alone, I’m sure, in being sure that I would have been more than happy to sign up.

So typical of Hitchens, me, I, and my shadow - we’re the world. No thoughts in his piece about how his own political positions, his own writing since 9/11 just might have enabled this administration’s embrace of torture, I’m sure it’s safe to assume.

Fair enough that he builds the case that “24” fans in the military use. But he leaves out the obvious evidence that we — with our ritualized humiliations of prisoners, and our preemptive war (some even shamelessly call it a “proxy war,” killing Iraqis because it’s less convenient to kill somebody else) can be reasonably argued to possess a high ground in this clusterfuck.

I can see agreeing to waterboarding for an article like the one Hitchens was writing.

I would have paid even more good money to see that.
