Christopher Hitchens on Anderson Cooper 360

I never read any of his books about Atheism but he was one of the modern movement's big names. He was instrumental in my understanding of the Iraq War and one of the voices that made me hawkish toward our Mesopotamian adventures. He seems pretty far along into chemo-therapy and the physical effects are disturbing.

Here's an article he wrote for Vanity Fair about his cancer.  Insightful as always. I find that reading about people's perception of themselves is often more rewarding then their writing about politics/religion/culture/etc.
