 He Says Yes to Legalized Torture - New York Times   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Krauthammer crystallized the case for keeping torture legal in a way that the Bush administration had not, ridiculing the "moral preening" of his critics and taking apart an amendment sponsored by Senator John McCain, point by point, while assailing the administration at the same time.
Krauthammer found himself at the nexus of debate among conservatives; he has, after decades as a public intellectual, weighed in on almost every important issue at some point along the way, including stem cell research, the Iraq war and the debate over creationism and intelligent design.
Krauthammer is now among the firmest supporters of the war in Iraq, so much so that he is occasionally a lightning rod for the war's critics.

 Uncommon Descent » Charles Krauthammer on ID
Krauthammer wrote this: “This new attack claims that because there are gaps in evolution, they therefore must be filled by a divine intelligent designer.” He obviously knows next to nothing about intelligent design.
I think Charles Krauthammer’s comments are unfornunate and probably owing to the fact that he hasn’t thought seriously and objectively about ID. But it is not true that his “knowledge of science” is “minimal at best.” He does have the MD from Harvard and worked as a psychiatrist for years.
Krauthammer got his MD 30 years ago and he only practiced medicine for 3 years afterwards and it was psychiatry not internal medicine.

 Right Web | Individual Profile | Charles Krauthammer
Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and former psychiatrist, has won numerous awards for his writings, including a National Magazine Award and the 1987 Pulitzer for distinguished commentary.
A supporter of the Project for the New American Century's campaign pushing for war with Iraq, Krauthammer's op-eds regularly berate liberals and Democrats, champion intervention in the Middle East, and defend the neoconservative agenda.
In an August 2003 Washington Post column, for example, Krauthammer defended the presidential nomination of neocon Daniel Pipes to the U.S. Institute for Peace, which was heavily criticized by members of Congress and many observers because of Pipe's hardline stance on the Middle East and controversial take on Islam.

 Ramesh Ponnuru on Charles Krauthammer AEI Speech on National Review Online
Krauthammer does not believe that it is wise to speak of an American "empire." No real imperial power begins its foreign adventures by looking for "exit strategies." We are a commercial republic, not an empire, but one that has more power than any empire ever has.
Krauthammer argues that we cannot promote democracy everywhere and sometimes need to ally ourselves with authoritarian regimes (he mentions Pakistan and Russia as examples).
After all, as Krauthammer noted in one of the biggest applause lines of the night, it is America that is the line between civilization and barbarism.

In 1980, Krauthammer finished his residency in Boston and took up a mental-health policy position with the Carter administration in Washington, D.C. In his spare time, he began writing articles for The New Republic, then acted as vice-president Walter Mondale's speech writer during the 1980 presidential campaign.
Krauthammer has been a paraplegic since surviving a serious diving accident in his first year of medical school.
Krauthammer had to undergo a year of in-patient rehabilitation, getting up to speed with his studies at night and eventually using specially designed instruments (such as an extra-long stethoscope) to examine patients from his wheel chair.

 Charles Krauthammer, Call Your Shrink - by Chris Moore
ashington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer thinks former general and national security adviser to four presidents Brent Scowcroft is "cold-blooded," an appeaser, an ally of Saddam Hussein, indifferent to those suffering under dictatorships, and indecent to boot.
To Krauthammer, those who hesitate to risk the lives of Americans in order to invade and occupy faraway Islamic countries deemed a "threat" by hyperactivist ideologues are themselves a threat to "decency" and civilization.
So for Krauthammer and the neocons, that means Bush I, the president who expelled Saddam from Kuwait, must also be an appeaser.

 Total Information Awareness: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Civil War
Charles Krauthammer penned a column for the Washington Post last week that would have slipped past my radar had not the always vigilant Tim Dunlop brought it to my attention.
But here, Krauthammer shrugs off the concerns over the flare-up of sectarian violence that would ensue if the Sunni population is sufficiently alienated by the electoral process by echoing the position of Matthew Yglesias in a piece that I took issue with here:
Krauthammer never offers details as to why or how civil war could be a "useful tool" to American interests, let alone Iraqi, nor does he acknowledge the destructive potential of widespread destabilization and unintended consequences attendant to further hostilities.

 Charles Krauthammer: A Pen in Defense of Zion
Explaining his decision to switch his university studies from political science to medicine, Charles Krauthammer once wrote that "Medicine promised not only moral certainty, but intellectual certainty, a hardness to truth, something not to be found in the universe of politics."
Although Krauthammer did eventually return to the universe of politics as a commentator on it, his desire for moral and intellectual certainty, and the hardness of truth, is no less evident.
This week, recognizing his support of the Jewish State in print over the years, he was honored with the Guardian of Zion Award from Bar-Ilan University's Ingeborg Rennert Center for Jerusalem Studies, which was given in past years to historian Martin Gilbert, columnist A.M. Rosenthal, and writers Elie Wiesel, Herman Wouk, and Cynthia Ozick.

 Salon.com News | Krauthammer's vendetta
But let's assume that when conservative Washington Post pundit Charles Krauthammer decided to offer up a rerun in his column Nov. 23, it was simply a case of trying to coast through the hectic holidays.
What's disturbing, though, is the material Krauthammer chose to recycle: an outrageous accusation against an American Muslim spiritual leader that happens not to be true.
Krauthammer's column last week, "The Silent Imams," argued that in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Muslim leaders have not been loud enough in condemning Osama bin Laden, and attacking the Islamic radicals who hijacked a global religion.

Krauthammer and similar critics of the Miers nomination also seem to believe — I can't imagine why, because it's counter-factual and counter-intuitive — that you have to keep writing law review articles month after month and year after year in order to have a powerful intellect.

 Charles Krauthammer: Denying History and Telling Lies :: Alternative Press Review :: Your Guide Beyond the Mainstream
Even Krauthammer’s newspaper, the Washington Post, reports there is “no specific, hard evidence of an election-related terrorist plot” and “law enforcement officials say they have been unable to detect signs of an ongoing plot in the United States, nor have they identified specific targets, dates or methods that might be used in one.”
Krauthammer may not wish to face the music, but even the Pentagon is now searching for an “exit strategy” in Iraq, albeit many months too late.
Krauthammer is our Hans Fritsche, who was head of the Nazi Press Section in Germany, and deputy to Joseph Goebbels, who railed against “Bolshevik terror” in much the same way the Straussian neocons ceaselessly rave about “Islamic terror.”

 One question only, for the Washington Post: When will Charles Krauthammer be fired?
In a fire-breathing column in this morning’s Post, Krauthammer tells the world what a crackpot that Howard Dean is. To promote his point, Krauthammer presents a “transcript” from Monday’s night’s Hardball—a “transcript” he has artfully doctored.
According to Krauthammer, this exchange shows that Dean “is now exhibiting symptoms of a related illness, Murdoch Derangement Syndrome (MDS), in which otherwise normal people believe that their minds are being controlled by a single, very clever Australian.”
Because we’ve dealt with people like Krauthammer for years, our reaction to this “transcript” was virtually preordained; our eyes were drawn to those suspicious ellipses which broke up Krauthammer’s pleasing text.
