And sooner or later he would have done it. All the FBI did was allow him to hang himself. I have a friend in Portland. I would hate to have read her name in the list of people killed if this little jerkwad had done what he wanted. In this case, the intent is the "killer." He had the intent and would have carried it through had he had the opportunity and the help he wanted. Or he would have gone overseas and killed our people there. Either way, he'll no longer have that opportunity.

How many of these home-grown terrorists will arise until one succeeds? And one will. Depend on it. Somewhere in this country now is a kid with more intelligence who will get the job done. I would far prefer that the FBI find them first before the Jihadists get the opportunity to follow through.

If it were truly entrapment and the kid had no intent, he will have a chance to prove that in our courts. The government will have to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

The latest info summary. ^"The FBI monitored Mohamud's e-mail and found he was in contact with people overseas, asking how he could travel to Pakistan and join the fight for jihad, according to an FBI affidavit." ^

So he might have joined the Taliban and killed American soldiers or Al Quaeda and then returned home to fulfill his mission.
