Janeane Garofalo used to torture Iraqis

Janeane Garofalo's voice was used to torture Iraqis, and they "hated" it.

Tony Lagouranis is a former military interrogator, who's now telling his story. And, believe it or not, the formerly cute comedienne and former Air America hostess played a role:

Not long ago in Iraq, [Lagouranis] felt "absolute power," he said, over men kept in cages. Lagouranis had forced a grandfather to kneel all night in the cold and bombarded others in metal shipping containers with the tape of the self-help parody "Feel This Book: An Essential Guide to Self-Empowerment, Spiritual Supremacy, and Sexual Satisfaction," by comedians Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo. ("They hated it," Lagouranis recalled. "Like, 'Please! Just stop that voice!' ") In lighter news, Garoffalo appears with Payton Oswald at the Somerville Theatre on June 23. Tickets are $35.

Thought everyone could use a diversion from serious news for a short period.

Their source is a Washington Post article. It's a standard piece about a guy who used to do interrogations for our intel and now feels bad about. The article tries to show the US in the worst possible light as only the WaPo can. The good part of the story is all posted above.

All babies, are cute, well almost all. But Ms. Garaflo's cuteness wore out ages ago.

They are lucky they only got to hear her voice. If the torture had been done by video it would be just inhumane.

Wait a second, this really is inhumane! What have we come to when we would do this to another human being. Crank up the generator with the clip on electrodes but for decency’s sake, show some shred of restaint.

And they used this picture to break them down, too...

Panties on the head - fine. Waterboarding - yep, I’m OK with that. But Janene is just too much. I’m with McCain on this one.

If it was the voice that tortured them how about using that gravel voiced liberal commentator Susan Estrich or better yet one of Hillary’s screeches.

I finally know what an obscene photograph looks like.

Thanks

Her voice is also torture to Americans.

[freekitty]

Way to go. Now show a pic of Rosie and watch them lose their minds.

Now, now...I’ve always thought Garafalo was hot in a secretary/librarian sort of way. She was good in the movie “Copland.”

[brothers4thID]

That’s torture. No, REAL torture.

[wideminded]

I’ve always thought Garafalo was hot in a secretary/librarian sort of way.

She herself admits that she looks like a lesbian although she claims to not be one.

"Mis ojos, Mis ojos!!!"

Translation: "My eyes, My eyes!!!"

You are right, I was a tad harsh. Let me rephrase:

Jeaneane Garfalo is cute in that 1:30 in the morning, closing time, (Make it a Double!), kind of way.

That's my site, and the "formerly cute" links to this other post which contains a series of links to previous JG photos like this or this. I'm pretty sure my characterization is accurate.

Truly, war is Hell.
