I didn't agree with him on every issue, but that goes for most people. If you agree with someone on every issue it is usually just a sign that you are talking to yourself. I am very sad to see him go though. I felt he had fundamental integrity and the right sort of morality - that which is concerned with the value of human beings rather than adherence to abstract (and often arbitrary) priniciples. Much as I disagreed with his views on Iraq, I felt that he did more good than harm by a very long way. I hope there is something beyond this mortal coil - and I hope it is good for Christopher Hithchens - irrespective of the fact that he may not be expecting it!
