When the FBI learned that a judge was releasing a group of men that were targeted, entrapped, and framed by the Bureau they probably had to try hard to remember the specifics.
the people in this case are a threat to national security
Uh. No. They weren’t. They were spoon-fed a plot that was fake from the very start. Without the FBI’s involvement, they never would have done anything of the sort. It’s not entrapment, because there’s no evidence that they were coerced into committing crimes, but there’s also no evidence that they would have even made a half-assed attempt in the absence of the FBI’s plot.
There are enough real threats without going around concocting them in order to justify the GWOT.
