Why Does The FBI Have
To Manufacture Its Own Plots If Terrorism And ISIS Are Such Grave Threats?
The FBI and major media outlets yesterday trumpeted the agency's latest counter-terrorism
triumph: the arrest of three Brooklyn men, ages 19 to 30, on charges of
conspiring to travel to Syria to fight for ISIS (photo of joint FBI/NYPD press
conference, above). As my colleague Murtaza Hussain ably documents, "it appears that none of the three men
was in any condition to travel or support the Islamic State, without help from
the FBI informant." One of the frightening terrorist villains told the FBI
informant that, beyond having no money, he had encountered a significant
problem in following through on the FBI's plot: his mom had taken away his
passport. Noting the bizarre and unhinged ranting of one of the suspects,
Hussain noted on Twitter that this case "sounds
like another victory for the FBI over the mentally ill."
