Mr. Brown,
I was searching for Mr. Krauthammer's most recent column on google, and a link to your column came up as one of the news links. Being a consistent reader of Mr. Krauthammer the past three or four years, I was intrigued by your article. Call me out if I'm wrong here, but I think you can take any respected political pundit that has been writing for a considerable amount of time and find faults. One can be wrong, and yet their logic and reasoning could be completely sound. I could write the same book about Paul Krugman or Christopher Hitchens or Bill Kristol, all of whom have been on the wrong side of history even if they had sound reasoning.
If you want to do the routine Jon Stewart Busch-league style of critique and make the redundant point that humans are fallible, go ahead. But I think your critique would be significantly more powerful if you could drive at the issue of Krauthammer's logic, rather than just whether or not he turned out to be right or wrong. That would be a book worth my time.
