OK, who is going to make this available to the public for free? WE NEED to see this kind of stuff.

Transcript at new statesman is incomplete, omitting closing comments at end of debate.

In fact, it is clearly the last 20 minutes which is omitted from the New Stateman "full transcript", which contained some of Hitchens' finest comments. Does anyone know if it's been transcribed anywhere else?

I am also in search of the closing comments. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
