(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Friday, April 11, 2003
Judging by his most recent effort, Hitchens is in Baghdad, arriving, well, just a few days behind Robert Fisk. I'm sure Hitch's beloved Orwell would have remained holed up in the Kuwait City Hilton while the life and death struggle against Islamofascist-terrorist Stalinoids was being fought. As the battle joined, Hitchens joined fellow conservatives for a cocktail.
Hitchens departed from recent form in not naming his current Mirror piece "We Must Search the Sewers," but he did remain true to his now familiar habit of accusing anyone of insufficient credulity before state power of either wearing a tinfoil hat or of seeking to "make liberation impossible." It's his most wearisome outing to date. posted by Anonymous8:37 AM
