Brilliant post by Kamm. His writing style also appears to have changed. It's much looser and clearer than usual. It also contains that vital page-turning quality. I wonder if our host has been giving him lessons? Or maybe he just wrote it in anger.

Don't get me wrong: Kamm is utterly brilliant. It's just that his prose, at least as far as I'm concerned, is usually ridiculously constipated and convoluted (traits that he shares with one of his close blogger friends). That's what I admire so much about Pollard. No matter how complex the issue, he always manages to convey its essence in the clearest terms possible. That is a very great and rare gift.

For the record:

1) I am not Stephen Pollard.

2) I have never met Stephen Pollard (I have passed him in the street a number of times, but, as you probably all know, I'm a very modest and discreet person and consequently have never approached him, even for an autograph).

3) I disagree with him quite strongly, as previous posts will show, about most subjects. Put it this way, if this were 1947 and we were both in Palestine, Pollard would have just been appointed as Abba Eban's replacement at the UN and Joshie would be on the run from the British.
