The tortured logic of Mo Dowd
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | Sunday, February 6, 2005 | Dimitri Vassilaros

Posted on 02/06/2005 11:24:15 AM PST by Willie Green

Maureen Dowd, the very cute but impossibly shrewish columnist for The New York Times, has a problem with sex.

Dowd is in a dither because female military interrogators used their feminine wiles on Muslim detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. Which is a great plan because terrorists tend to be so uptight about earthly women that they prefer the 72 virgins waiting for them in heaven.

Great plan, unless the suspects are gay.

Or unless our chicks look like Abu Ghraib prison guard Lyndie England.

In a recent column, Dowd wrote that, " ... female interrogators used a toxic combination of sex and religion to try to break Muslim detainees at the U.S. prison camp in Cuba. It's not merely disgusting. It's beyond belief."

Actually, it's like one of those letters that begins, "Dear Playboy, You are not going to believe this, but ... ."

MoDO's crowd find one method of interrogation appropriate: The accused lives in air conditioned comfort, with cable and personal religious counsel (as long as he's not Christian), and three lawyers present. The meeting takes place in a "casual" atmosphere--throw pillows and such--and is conversational, with self-esteem-building compliments and written requests for information, which the imprisoned is under no obligation to answer. Then he is returned to his "cell" before his "shows" come on on Al Jazeera. When the prisoner requests it, he should be released, whereupon he will denounce the torture he received, thus giving MoDo another excuse for a column.

Well, gee, let's see. Send some of the male officers in to interrogate them and let them hit on them. Imagine how horrified the prisoners would be. They would really start to talk then. LOL!

But you said you would "menstruate all over them". That is not physically possible. Ergo, you wouldn't.

Never underestimate the power of Laz.

If I want to menstruate on an Iraqi, I'll menstruate on an Iraqi.

So you're OK with the terrorists being blown to bloody hell, but we can't put fake blood on them?

I mean, if a beautiful female officer were sent into the cell to interrogate him, that is one thing. She could use mind games. But all of the explicit sex, I think that is a little far and demeaning to a U.S. military officer of either sex.

The girl prisoners get . . . Fabio!

I did not know it was fake blood. Pour it all over them. Make them swim in it. It might do them good.

Does anyone think it's wise to tell the world that this is the way we torture murdering torturing rapists?

Logic and Mo Dowd in the same sentence is illogical.

It's about bleedin' time women stop thinking they have a monopoly on menstruation.

After all, it's call menstruation. Not chickstruation.

I see your point. You might say that the actions of the female interrigators,from the detainees perspective, pretty much validated all the negative things about women the muslims had been hammering into his pointed head.

I think there is a law somewhere that forbids the word logic and MO Dowd to be in the same sentence. I really do! ;-)
