"For a few years now, we've been covering the proliferation of the FBI's
own plots, in which they basically set up a fake terrorist plot, and use
their own undercover agents or (preferably) informants (generally former
criminals who get paid and/or favors such as reduced sentences) to go
out seeking young and gullible individuals to convince to "join" the
plot (a plot that has no connection to reality). Then they stage a big
arrest and an even bigger press conference about how they "stopped" a
terrorist threat."
When there is a huge, unassailable budget available for anti-terrorism,
everyone wants a piece of that money and will manufacture terrorists if
they have to.
