First thought, wtf thought he was not far from the deathbed.

But wow, this should be interesting as Hitchens has regularly blasted Blair for his faith schools agenda and plenty of other political decisions. But Hitchens supports the war in Iraq/Afghanistan so I doubt he'll take Blair to account for that.

Don't underestimate the skills of Blair a seasoned political star in his own right, to debate strongly against hitchens.

If you guys haven't seen it the Intelligence squared debates did "Is the Catholic church a force for good in this world," with Hitchens and Stephen Fry absolutely massacring the other side in a great debate.

You can find the debate easily enough on youtube, but if you don't watch the whole thing do check out Stephen Fry's opening statements which are almost poetry.
