He's hinted at it before, but apparently to a New Zealand journalist Nick Cohen said:“You never get it from the reviews, but I say in the book, opposition to American policy and George Bush is entirely justified. The protestors were more right than most of the so-called intelligent people in government.”
But, naturally:
Now he wants people to stop fixating on why it was wrong to go to war. They need to move on.
This remarkable view, suggests the Euston Manifesto's demand that critics stop "picking through the rubble of the arguments over intervention" (yes, those are the words) was written by Nick Cohen. He also declares of Ayaan Hirsi Ali:
"She was driven out of Holland. By the left.” I don't think this is entirely accurate either.
