Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit quotes this delicious poolside encounter between a reporter from the conservative Telegraph and an unidentified US reporter:


“The other day, while taking a break by the Al-Hamra Hotel pool, fringed with the usual cast of tattooed defence contractors, I was accosted by an American magazine journalist of serious accomplishment and impeccable liberal credentials.


“She had been disturbed by my argument that Iraqis were better off than they had been under Saddam and I was now — there was no choice about this — going to have to justify my bizarre and dangerous views….”


Wouldn’t you love to know who she is?


But, of course, that’s the way most of ’em think, isn’t it?
