(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Graeber). Apparently McFate did not publish her PhD on the IRA due to ethical reasons - obviously ethics did not, however, prevent her from moving on to working for the military.

There've been recent revelations about the struggle within the psychologists' assoc. over collaboration with the military—and presumably "contractors"—branches of government. It's enough to make me want to run out and buy Naomi Klein's new book. Thanks for this sharp piece on the rather sordid history of anthros. and governments.
