Well, yes. Durova doesn't work for the FBI, she says. Well, maybe her picture of Mata Hari is a good metaphor.

Mata Hari was such an INCOMPETENT COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AGENT that she was caught, and
shot by firing squad.


MATA HARI: Drama. Self-aggrandizement. Life rending messup. Blood on the wall.

Whereas I did not presume Durova to be a spy....

...MH sounds an awful lot like Durova, after all....

If there's any truth to it at all, DL, I would expect there to be two or three layers of subcontracting to distance someone like her from any governmental agency, like Homeboy Insecurity or the FBI. Government agencies have generic contracts with low-profile private investigative or research firms which then have sub-contractors who hire otherwise flaky and unreliable informants or stringers.
