Given McFate's personality, I'd wager that she made the posters herself so that she can cry and claim she's apolitical victim. But who knows, it might be real and a natural result of being exposed as a spy. People don't like being lied to and spied on.

Reading these makes me think of those bad dreams I used to have before Anthropology exams in which all the facts, figures and dates reassembled themselves into a peculiarly refracted universe, uncannily resembling our own, though somehow not quite right. http://3quarksdaily.blogs.com/3quarksdaily/2008/08/imaginary-tribe.html Also: over at 3 Quarks Daily Justin EH Smith has just released ‘Imaginary Tribes #5′ – another in his ongoing series of alternative anthropologies. #5 is a take on Structuralism.
