Hitchens on Anderson Cooper, taken from CNN
In the midst of battling cancer, Hitchens (who had a recent article about him in the Times of London) commented on the conflict over the Mosque placement “at Ground Zero.” His article can be found on Slate, here. An American Atheist also covered the topic some time ago. Hitchens had a compelling interview recently on Anderson Cooper 360.
Update: President Obama recently defended the mosque’s placement saying:
This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are.”

Update #2: Roger Ebert wrote a fantastic article about Hitchens in the Chicago Sun Times.
