Another interesting article on the Downing Street memo from Slate, and more evidence to those who don't otherwise know it that Slate isn't a left-wing news outlet (they actually are fair and balanced, in contrast to other opinion outlets):

Wha...wha...what?

BAC and I actually find agreement in an article? :shock:

I'm actually finding an article in Slate interesting? :shock:

The Slate is actually agreeing with an article from National Review (see earlier this thread)? :shock:

(Note: read all the above with heavy doses of sarcasm)

See, you should read magazines like Slate more often -- then you have access to opinions from all across the spectrum, but almost always written by people who aren't cheerleaders for either side (or at least have to support their arguments with enough facts and face enough scrutiny to keep them honest).

I don't necessarily agree with Hitchens on all of his points (except in his assertions that the Da Vinci Code is poorly written), but I enjoy reading what he has to say.
