Galloway-Hitchens: Get in on the Action!

I may be the only person around these parts who is interested in this upcoming debate on the Iraq War. But if any of you are interested in a debate between a communist-Baathist Oil-for-Food exploiter and socialist-cum neocon on the merits of America's invasion of Iraq, then I've got good news for you.

You can listen to the debate live on Wednesday night at 7pm EDT. It also appears that you can download the debate as a Podcast or listen at a later date. It would be great if those of you with an interest were able to listen, because

1. It should be a pretty darn good debate; pitting two knowledgeable, eloquent and passionate speakers against one another. They also happen to have a visceral dislike for one another and one is eminently more intellectually honest than the other, but that's just the showbiz aspect. They also both happen to be Brits, so this is going to be like an afternoon at Speaker's Corner.

2. You'd be able to test my skills and balance as a reporter.

3. It might serve to stir some interesting debate in the comments section. Frankly, I'd like to shake things up here a little and one way to do it is to get our readers more involved. I did a call for comments last month and while we've seen some more posts, we'd like to get more and from more corners.

In any case, hope you can check it out and that you'll provide your thoughts on the debate.
