I grant Miller the personal integrity to change his views for reasons other than career-enhancement asslicking. Likewise Hitchens. In my life, I've shifted around substantially on various issues. I think we have to not just allow for change of viewpoint, but actually celebrate it. Nothing drives me more crazy than the individual who is unable to reformulate his notions.
I too, have changed my position on certain things over the years and your point is well taken. I do believe in this case however, that Miller's "conversion" is pretty transparent.
I also have no patience with those of my generation who now support war even though they were anti war when they were old enough to actually serve, get killed, and won't cop to it. The word for those people is pussy IMO.
A narrow minded view perhaps, and you may say absolutely, but it's a conviction I stick to.
