Essential reading: Seumas Milne on "Essential misreading"

Comment is free: Essential misreading: "There's now a well-established tradition in Britain of recantations by people who have moved from left to right, and either try to justify their embrace of the powers-that-be or, alternatively, insist they haven't changed at all, it's their former allies who've abandoned their principles. The genre goes back at least to the anti-communist tome The God that Failed"

I like this article, and it links back to the even more excellent piece he wrote in the grauniad immediately after the september 11 attacks, which stands up better than ever. Seumas Milne for president.
