RE: thoughts on sam harris
He "gets it" a lot more than Dawkins for me. I disagree with him when it comes to some of his positions on Islam. He justifies the ongoing wars this way, similar to Hitchens.

I just think a more compassionate view is needed. To be fair at least he recognises this and says if he found evidence that what he did created more fundamentalism it would give him pause for thought about what he does.

I think the term the CIA use is "blowback". I get on better with people who understand blowback.
