Cloning and terror, he argues, proportion an uncanny structural resemblance, shuttling backward and forward among imaginary and actual, metaphoric and literal manifestations. In Mitchell’s startling research, cloning terror emerges because the inevitable metaphor for how within which the conflict on Terror has not just helped recruit extra combatants to the jihadist reason yet undermined the yank structure with “faith-based” international and family policies.
