ExPat Hitch

AS has posted most of his sit-down with Hitch on Russert's show.

Is this segment on Wright the same as what aired, or was it edited for the show? It just seems fuller than what I recall hearing.

I'd read Hitchens book before Harris or Dawkins, although I probably wouldn't have time for either. I think people of faith should understand the challenge from atheism (although not because of spiritualism), especially during a time when we have the risk of a true clash of civilizations and folks like Bush too ready to cast world events into near Biblical struggle.

There is a point at which it gets caustic, however. From what I've seen, Hitch seems to have a sense for where the dividing line may be, more than Harris or Dawkins.
