Steven Weiss at Protocols dissects Christopher Hitchens' dissappointing Slate smear of Daniel Pipes. (Hat tip: Mike) I don't know enough about Hitchens's writing to know how this fits into the overall picture of how he approaches things, although it's becoming something of a pattern - first the Bob Hope piece, now this. I know Hitchens is a leftist who seemed to discover God in the run-up to Iraq, but I guess you can't expect the leopard to change its spots.

Reading Steven's piece, Hitchens doesn't come off sounding very good.
