More Galloway-Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens's latest riposte to George Galloway. To Hitchens's rhetorical question at the end ("we shall see..."), the most appropriate response would seem to be: but we already have.

This mealy-mouthed companion piece from The Telegraph is typical (and typically British) in its policy of splitting the difference between Hitchens and Galloway where there's no difference to be split. As for Oona King, the erstwhile MP for Bethnal Green (replaced by Galloway) whose views structure the article, I have yet to grasp the basis on which she claims that Galloway won the Baruch College debate against Hitchens "on points." But it may be over-generosity to suppose that she has one.
