Government agents ‘directly involved’ in most high-profile US terror plots

Nearly all of the highest-profile domestic terrorism plots in the United States since 9/11 featured the "direct involvement" of government agents or informants, a new report says. 

Some of the controversial "sting" operations "were proposed or led by informants", bordering on entrapment by law enforcement. Yet the courtroom obstacles to proving entrapment are significant, one of the reasons the stings persist.

The lengthy report, released on Monday by Human Rights Watch, raises questions about the US criminal justice system's ability to respect civil rights and due process in post-9/11 terrorism cases. It portrays a system that features not just the sting operations but secret evidence, anonymous juries, extensive pretrial detentions and convictions significantly removed from actual plots.

    I have been in the repair business for a long long time. This wreck appears to be total and complete to me. Is anyone seeing something besides out with the old via fire and then build it back?

    Hang around with 1% biker clubs or with someone who brags about his militia..and you won't be able to turn around without tripping over a .gov snitch or narc informant.
    The .gov agencies have all this stuff infiltrated and are always trying to goad someone into 'doing something'.

    Four go to a prepped meeting, one is a federal agent, two are paid informants, one is a fool.
    I say liberate their gray matter.

      Yep. Three guys are planning an attack = one is crazy, one is the patsy, and the one supplying the guns, ammo, and explosives is FBI.

    They have a budget that is larger than the Military. Over 1million dead seniors get checks every month. Every Govt post made bullet buys under Obama. Guess where the money winds up. Informants cost money except for the ones who will take a bottle of wine and a hooker as payment.
