Les is too damn chicken to find the parents of Shoshana Johnson and ask this question to their faces. No, he's got to plant in everyone's memory that Shoshana Johnson is probably going to be sexually brutalized by her Iraqi captors. In fact, Kinsolving probably is getting aroused by the question as I type. I hope Les is right there when Shoshana Johnson comes home. I want him to ask her to her face if she was raped. And I want it well-publicized because the reaction of the people around her isn't going to be pretty.

Is there a point to your mindless blitherings? A female is in fact weaker and they are in fact a much greater liability in a combat situation. Got that? The issue arises because it is in fact happening.

It causes great pain.

My point, which, of course, has completely escaped you, is that Kinsolving stepped way over the line with his rape question to Ari, but was too cowardly to ask the question of Johnson's parents face to face.
