Damn!

How will those of us without access to that channel see it? Will it be uploaded anywhere?

I echo Anonymous, please upload for those of us stranded in the UK.

I'm pretty sure the CBS 60 Minutes website will have the entire video online.

The 60 Minutes programme is also put, in full, on their website after its broadcast.

An interview i can't wait to see. Hitch - keep fighting, your mind is a precious tool that hones our collective conversation. You inspire controversial thinking, you provoke thought and above all you elevate our culture. I don't always agree, but i always challenge my own thinking when i read YOU.

I just got done watching the interview, and while it was good, the one thing that pissed me off was that they referred to Alexander Cockburn as his former friend, however Hitchens has stated several times that despite political disagreements they are still friends and he regards Cockburn as one of America's best radical journalists.

Btw Cockburn and Hitchens are my two favorite journalists by far.

Dear Hitch,

As a fellow ex-pat, non-theist and long time admirer of your work I wanted to wish you well in your battle against this horrible disease. Good to see you on 60 mins this evening sporting a nice beard and looking much better.

Keep up the good work. We need you!
