Get this: a gun-control activist, who sat on the board of two anti-violence groups, might have been a spy for the NRA all along! Mary Lou McFate (or Mary Lou Sapone) has worked for gun control for over a decade, but her organizations have just kicked her out so they can start checking her offices for bugs. Using her maiden name "McFare," Mary allegedly posed as a gun-control activist at the behest of the National Rifle Association. As an alleged mole for the NRA, McFate met with members of Congress, attended rallies, and participated in strategy sessions on behalf of gun control.
This isn't the first time McFate has acted as a freelance spy. During the 1980s she infiltrated an animal-rights group for US Surgical, a company accused of using dogs for research and training. She has also worked as a flight attendant and a sex therapist.
Even though McFate had access to every major legislative strategy of the gun-control lobby, some say they have nothing to hide from the NRA. In fact, a few gun-control activists feel flattered that the gun lobby sees them as a threat.

That's pretty messed up. I guess I'm just naive, but I've never thought about spies working in this context.
1I had heard of government agents infiltrating various groups, but nothing like this!
This paragraph made me laugh:
"This isn't the first time McFate has acted as a freelance spy. During the 1980s she infiltrated an animal-rights group for US Surgical, a company accused of using dogs for research and training. She has also worked as a flight attendant and a sex therapist."
What a resume she has!!!
2Who was she spying for as a sex therapist, the lobby for abstinence?

@ MartiniLush: Must be nice to have a lot of talents and
experiences. If she ever needs a job should can get one in all sorts of industries.
4who would have thought bad about someone named Mary lou? Perfect name for a spy
5How embarrassing if your sex therapist turns out to be a phony!
6Kind of funny.
Martini that paragraph made me laugh, too! I was trying to think of who she was spying on as a sex therapist and flight attendant.
