Glad you're okay with the FBI setting people up.
Your problem is your making this about what you think and not the root issue at hand here is. They aren't getting into trouble because the FBI baited them.
Saying that would-terrorists are a threat is not the same as condoning the FBI running afoul of the law.
Did you do any research at all into this? The FBI supplied everything. This is textbook entrapment. I'm not a terrorist sympathizer of any stretch of the imagination. However, there are better ways to find terrorists than to bait them. If the FBI has to bait people into doing things then it makes me question the usefulness of such an agency.
Uh. No. They weren't. They were spoon-fed a plot that was fake from the very start. Without the FBI's involvement, they never would have done anything of the sort. It's not entrapment, because there's no evidence that they were coerced into committing crimes, but there's also no evidence that they would have even made a half-assed attempt in the absence of the FBI's plot.
There are enough real threats without going around concocting them in order to justify the GWOT.
