		<description><![CDATA[Dear Mr. Hitchens, Some people got caught up in your atheism, or your pro-Iraq War sentiments, that they didn&#8217;t want to hear what you had to say.  They deprived themselves of their right to understand why you thought what you thought.  They missed the message.  They didn&#8217;t need a censor &#8211; they censored themselves.
