The Sunshine Warrior: Paul Wolfowitz
(New York Times) Bill Keller - You hear from some of Wolfowitz's critics, always off the record, that Israel exercises a powerful gravitational pull on the man.

He has generally been less excited by the security of Israel than by the promise of a more moderate Islam.
