I have a fondness for the First Ammendment, professional journalism and acid wit, although I don't know how it'll proceed unless he (a British subject) can prove that . . . well I don't know what he hopes to prove. No one cut his phone line. No one cencored his work. No one put a hood over his head, stuffed him in a van and kept him taped to a chair for 3 days in some basement. It's likely Hitchens is making a victimization point, but still, I'll be interested to see where it goes.OctaneBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550672071985852745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13039042.post-1137684667878062082006-01-19T09:31:00.000-06:002006-01-19T09:31:00.000-06:00Real victims?
