    Glenn

    Props to Hewitt for having this interview with you and for airing it unedited.

    While Hewitt no doubt has rabid fans who will not accept anything coming from the mouth of someone perceived as being to the left of Genghis Khan, I would guess that your words were also reaching some in his audience who are fed up with non-stop warmongering of all sorts. This is exactly the kind of dialogue that has been direly needed and you handled it well.

    Sort of lets the air out of the tires of those who argue one should never meet the enemy in his lair. ;-}

    Well done.
