I can easily tolerate it, because it's irrelevant in relation to the important story he's telling. In fact, it's probably necessary, because the story he's telling is so disturbing, so outrageous, in its implications, already; that challenging the entire basis for the West's 'engagement' in the Syrian conflict, basically saying that it's all a massive, bloody, lie; is simply too much, too soon, for readers of the Mail on Sunday to absorb. I think it's a question of priorities. Knowing how much one can 'get away with' at this time. It would be different if Hitchins wasn't a lone voice crying in the wilderness, he wouldn't be so isolated and vulnerable. If, for example, someone like Owen Jones was revealing this kind of stuff in the Gaurdian and critisising and questioning the entire basis of the West's attack on Syria; only he isn't doing this. He's too busy polishing his halo.
