A May 2011 New York University's School of Law Center for Human Rights and Global Justice report headlined, "Targeted and Entrapped: Manufacturing the 'Homegrown Threat' in the United States."
It discussed how FBI stings entrap hundreds of American Muslims lawlessly. Washington calls them foiled terror plots. In fact, none exist.
FBI informants are well paid to entrap and lie. Media scoundrels headline them. The validity of charges is never questioned.
The likelihood that Iran or any other country would plan terror assassinations or other attacks on US soil is preposterous. Key is cui bono. Iran and other nations have everything to lose and nothing to gain.
In December 2010, Holder defended entrapment. He called it an "essential law enforcement tool." It helps uncover and prevent terror attacks, he claimed. Forget about rule of law issues. They don't matter.
Inciting fear, justifying America's imperium, filling homeland gulag beds, and fattening bottom lines for greedy war profiteers count most.
Entrapment occurs when law enforcement officials or agents induce, influence, or provoke crimes that otherwise wouldn't be committed.
It doesn't apply in willful criminal cases. DOJ vigilantes may legally aid, abet, or facilitate illegal acts when suspects plan them.
