My thoughts exactly. I don't know his personal background but often there is an untold story for a complete lack of faith. What a convert he would be. Anyway, good reporting Good Lt.

i cannot support the war on iraq as a conservative the way this has played out. these filthy subhuman arabs attacked us and killed countless precious Americans on 9/11.
our soldiers should be going door to door and slaughtering the arab beasts in every country of the middle east. filthy arab children should be cut open and hung on pikes for all the world to see.
trust me, there will be no end to terrorism until the last arab draws breath no more.
I pray to Jesus nightly for his almighty vengeance to wipe out the arabs the world over.

Chris..Jesus first admonishes do unto others, not do unto others before they do it unto you...revenge is mine, sayeth the Lord.Second, most Arabs over here are Christian!!Third, killing the Children is not Biblical
at all...not sure what God you're praying to, but I know why you're not being answered by mine.

I would expect that there would be more Republicans named simply because there have been more Republicans in positions of power during the time that Palfrey conducted her business in Washington.
During the last 6 years there has been few Democrats working in the Executive branch, and the Democrats were the minority party in Congress (her business ended by 2005). Outing a Clinton era individual as having been a client is not nearly so news worthy as someone in a top position of the current administration.
And of course the BIG issue is hypocrisy. The Republican base is/was; the moral majority/christian coalition/social conservatives. They are certain to be less forgiving of adultery/prostitution than the Democratic base will be when/if allegations are made against Democrats.
Not that it matter much to Democrats but their top canidates, Obama,Clinton,Edwards, all seem to have had only one marriage.

Clinton
That was actually a sham and a lie, not a marriage. You must have been asleep from 1993-1999. Nice try, though.

"Clinton" Prostitutes both of them. Obama would like to be a prostitute, if anyone was paying in his prefered currency, and Edwards can screw Americans while making them think he really does love them. I despise the bunch. I feel bad for thier families.
USA, all the way!

Meanwhile Hitchens is ravaging the anti-war arguements with precision, as one would expect

I would have no problem with killing any Arab, Persian or American who picks up the bloody sheild and sword of Islam Jihad. But they are all cowards and sneaky, covert cowards at that that hide among the innocent and the frightened [everywhere]. So, unless [until] the international community and the American community tires of being bled and slaughtered, we will kill very few of them, imprison some (to be released again) and change not one of their minds.
It is going to be a long, long, long war. We may lose the war that is raging within the United States before we can defeat Islam. The invasion of the U.S.A. is fast apace, with thousands entering legally and illegally each month. They say there are 12 million illegals here now, some say the figure is closer to 20 million and will soon double with the present birth rate and infiltration rate they enjoy.
What we will do about that is not clear, but many are saying if the state and the Nation won't do anything, the American public will. That will be a sad and terrible time.
Hitchens believes in no god, no higher power, but this does not stop him from knowing the power that Islam has over the billion plus worldwide.
In fact it may help him see it much clearer than most. But he makes little difference, as most Americans will never see or hear his words.

For those of us with an attention span longer than a gnat ,this is nothing new.
The idea that Hitchens would have to recapitulate for 5 minutes the reasons why IOF was undertaken is a disgrace. The before and after quotes from the Democrats have been shoved down the memory hole.
I have to be ashamed for them all, for they clearly have none. If their fates were not tied to mine, I would be laughing at them for their shortsighted ignorance.
I never believed in 2001 that I would witness the shame that the Democrats would heap upon my proud nation.
I despise them for they are the poison pill of a great land and people. They could have easily gone another way and supported, with constructive criticism, OIF. But they chose the exact opposite way of treachery and surrender.
We will pay a price for all of their perfidy.
Our enemies are as intractable in their desire for our destruction as the Democrats are of the destruction of George W. Bush.

Chris, you're using a different moniker today--you're a sick, twisted lowlife--you have not a scintilla of Jesus in you.
We pursue murderers, i.e., terrorists, but we stand shoulder to shoulder with Muslims who desire peace (the brave Iraqi troops have fought admirably).

Hitchens will of course continue to defend his previous statements ... nothing startling there or particularly insightful about this most recent example.
However, compare this to a previous Hitchens writing:
"For years we in the West have been looking for a new Evil Empire
to fill the gap left when Russia - a genuine threat - retired from the
job and deprived us of an enemy. What were all those spies to do? How
could we justify those missiles and bombs? What should we be scared of
now?
At one stage we were reduced to pretending that Panama's
General Noriega was a menace to our way of life. Then it was Slobodan
Milosevic. Finally, we inflated the piffling Saddam Hussein into a
looming Hitler.
Now the same experts think they have found
something to be afraid of in Iran. It is tempting to believe them. This
is the land of the glowering ayatollahs, the book-burning mobs, the
fatwas of death and the black chador. And Iran has just become even
more frightening because in its secret vaults Islamic scientists are
fumbling with atoms and testing long-range rockets."
Yep, Hitchens ... not Christopher, but his more reality-based brother Peter.

Hitchens will of course continue to defend his previous statements
Hitchens is repeating historical facts (and ideological consistency) to his erstwhile comrades on the left. He's not defending himself.
His "statements" on Iraq need no defense because they are the factually and historically accurate.
The antiwar left is the one that needs to defend its unilateral exoneration of psychopathic Islamic tyrants, murderers and terrorists simply because they have an irrational personal hatred of BOOSH.\
Which will never happen, since the left has neither the intellectual nor moral capacity for introspection.

Hmmm. Somehow I get the feeling you've rarely been accused of broad UNDER-generalizations, Lt.
