GAUNTLET THROWN

Christopher Hitchens vivisects Fahrenheit 9/11 and throws out this challenge to its director:

However, I think we can agree that the film is so flat-out phony that "fact-checking" is beside the point. And as for the scary lawyers—get a life, or maybe see me in court. But I offer this, to Moore and to his rapid response rabble. Any time, Michael my boy. Let's redo Telluride. Any show. Any place. Any platform. Let's see what you're made of.

The rest is tremendous stuff, go read the whole thing.
