An overly flattering assessment of Christopher Hitchens and a meager, cursory review of his latest book. Not at all even-handed. Since I can't tell whether this was supposed to be a book review or an air-brushed mini-bio of Hitchens, I don't know whether to criticize the author not mentioning that this is the same person who *still* insists the (now completely discredited) "yellowcake" story Bush used to support his Iraq war plans is true, or whether to criticize him for not taking Hitchens to task for doing what all atheist writers do -- use the terms "God" and "religion" interchangably as suits their arguments. The writer seems better qualified to write obituaries than reviews of either people or books.
