Maybe we should just toss "terrorists" into the nearest river, if they float they're a terrorist and get hanged, if they sink, then they die but are innocent...
Wait, no, that's the Salem witch trials, for some reason I always mix up terrorism accusations in 2015, and the Salem witch trials from 1692...
A lot of these cases seem to come up. They seem to fall into two "camps," legitimately dangerous individuals collecting resources for a future event (guns, bombs, etc) and fishing expeditions where they try to borderline entrap the gullible or stupid.
The question is: Do the agents not ever question what they're doing morally? If you need to talk someone into committing a crime are you really serving justice? And if you aren't serving justice then what is the point in any of it?
