Had Ms. Marlowe mentioned Glatzer, Anderson, Dupree, Edwards, Tapper (husband or wife), et al. we might be able to credit her with "dipping into Afghan...anthropology" but to try to snipe at Dr. McFate for unfamiliarity with sources that Ms. Marlowe herself clearly cannot place in context perhaps takes balls but certainly not brains.

She was also friends with many supermodels at one time. Also, her latest book has a glowing endorsement from James Frey of Oprah fame. I say, let this woman speak!
