In our hours of interviews with him - while researching our own book, The Preacher and the Presidents - he was quick to find fault with his own conduct and quite willing to explore the reasons behind the mistakes he admitted making. The odd thing about Hitchens' attack is not that he assaults an ailing icon - that's both his specialty and his right - but that the evidence he cites actually proves him wrong...
