When the NY synagogue “terrorist” plot hit the news, I said, “This sounds awfully familiar.” It reminded of the story of Hemant Lakhani, a fellow the FBI hired to acquire an anti-aircraft missile for them, then sold him the very missile they asked him to acquire, and then arrested him for illegal arms dealing.

It turns out the latest arrests aren’t much different.

I feel a lot safer knowing the FBI is going out, convincing people to join an FBI-invented terrorist plot, then arresting them for it.
