The plaintiff’s behavior is really, really embarrassing. But expertise on terrorism and national security does not know gender.

I ask a knowledgeable Freeper to explain.
Its not. The person had retired. UCMJ also does not apply to the Library of Congress.
This could be a good thing. Anyone who would voluntarily cut off his own testes should have no qualms about waterboarding...of course, we may need to remind him that waterboarding is for terrorists, not for his personal pleasure.
