As Hitchens wrote about The Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant:

<<To mention this banana-republic degradation of the United States in the same breath as a plan, deliberated for months, to inflict maximum horror upon the innocent is to abandon every standard that makes intellectual and moral discrimination possible.
