Is Snitch Editing Out His Own Errors, Post-Publication? I could have sworn when I read Hitchens' article this a.m., he misspelled the last name McClellan as "McLellan" in the quote cited below. I didn't comment because (1) it was just a spelling error and (2) it wasn't necessarily attributable to Hitchens, as opposed to a Slate staffer. But according to a comment posted yesterday The Fray, the article originally referred to "William" instead of George McClellan. Still not earth-shattering, but worthy of comment in light of Hitchens' pose as intellectually superior to all who disagree with him. Is someone cleaning up after Hitch and, if so, what else have they corrected?
