Hitchens holds down the fort

No wonder the Bush bloggers have such a hard time recognizing hard cold facts when they see them. The "we create our own reality" crowd has created an farcical alternative universe that more resembles a Fellini movie than real life.

Take for instance this little jutxaposition. On the day it was announced that the US released 1000 prisoners from Abu Ghraib, after holding them for months with no explanation and no charges, the switchover man, Christopher Hitchens, puts up a piece saying Iraq is a war to proud of - citing Abu Ghraib as a testimony to the great progress we've brought to the people.

He says, "Prison conditions at Abu Ghraib have improved markedly and dramatically since the arrival of Coalition troops in Baghdad."

Yeah, we improved things so much, the Pentagon is afraid to release the videos and photos for fear of spiking a new wave of retaliatory terrorist acts.

The disconnect defies comprehension. How low is Hitchens willing to sink to serve his new masters?
