  Not only that, I believe they were good friends.

    Indeed they were. I saw the two of them on a speaking tour at UCLA in the late 1990s, before Christopher became obsessed with Islam. They were kind of acting like bad schoolboys, drinking and smoking on stage IIRC. It would not be surprising if they went to Oxford together, of course Hitchens did.

    They were. Coincidentally I was listening to a Hitchens interview this very morning (before this news) in which he mentioned it.
