Seems the rebellious streak that he refers to is not limited to the " baby boomerang" generation according to this: http://www.newsy.com/videos/iran_s_power_struggle
As the video points out, there is a movement of clerics who have shifted support away from the Supreme Leader.

Yes Hitchens. A cup running over with brilliance and yet sometimes, not often, totally wrong.

Popular journalists must exaggerate to the point of becoming ridiculous but not crossing the line. That’s exactly what Hitchens does.
He skillfully escapes some of the most controversial questions.
I wish he would elaborate a bit more on his waterboarding experience and on his position on torture.

This interview with Mr. Hitchens made my day. I'm looking forward to his next book.
I agree that the Elgin (g as in good) be returned to Athens, as they portray an historical
narrative. The Brits' excuse after numerous requests was, "Oh, but they're too valuable.".
Britain essentially stole them.
