"The feds found young Muslim men. Loners who were bitter at America. They befriended them, cajoled them, and persuaded them...

In all of these cases, agents worked undercover and portrayed themselves to the targets as Arabs of like un-American mind.

In some cases, the feds used third parties to act as middlemen.

The third parties were typically persons who had been convicted of crimes and who, in return for leniency at their own sentencings, were willing to work with the same feds who prosecuted them to help them entrap whomever else those feds were pursuing...

None of this keeps us safe. All of this makes us less free, as any of us can be entrapped.

We are fools if we praise the government for exposing a plot of its own creation and saving us from a danger that never existed..."

Why do we pay the government to trick us into believing it is keeping us safe?
