Don't Be Too Quick to Judge

Don't read too much into the Fort Dix Six. This is a prima facia case of entrapment. The FBI used one of its operatives to entice six dimwitted individuals to get involved in a supposedly terror plot. On their own, those six individuals couldn't have found their way out of a wet paper bag! The FBI operative was going to supply a plan and weapons to this group who had no idea what they were doing. The FBI was and still is very good at promoting itself----better they promote themselves when it really matters.
