With so many FBI stings against wannabe terrorists over the past four to five years, don’t the other wannabe terrorists out there catch on and start to suspect they’re being set up?
Yes and no.
The Baltimore man charged today after an FBI sting in which he allegedly planned to blow up a military recruitment center gives us a classic moment in the annals of morons duped into becoming terrorists.
When he learned of a counterterrorism sting in Portland, Ore., late last month, today’s sting target allegedly said, “I’m not falling for no B.S.” The person he said it to, according to the feds, was an FBI informant. D’oh!
