I think Elaine Donnelly is just terrific. I'll never forget watching her systematically b-slap Ira Glasser on public TV in a debate — and he knew he'd been slapped. It was a wonderful thing.

And good heavens, LS, splash some cold water on your face. If specializing on an issue DISQUALIFIES someone as an informed witness, we'd better just ask an ignoramus to write on everything. Larry King would be the only essayist in print, with rewrites by Janeane Garofolo.

Dan, specializing in something is fine. But let's get real---talk about splashing cold water on your face!---about what her agenda is. It will make her argument look very bad if women did anything heroic in combat or acquitted themselves well, and it is in her favor if women were helpless, abused, tortured, and patsies.

But neither she, nor I, nor you, know the truth of what happened, and I think everyone should chill until we hear what Jessica says about it.
