Doesn’t this scene bring to mind the idea that the truth is harder to decipher than one would think? So, the FBI decides to catch terrorists: they assume that terrorists will buy in and go along with a faux terrorist plot. What does this entail? The FBI sets up a string of contacts and events which lead to a group of men being arrested and charged with terrorism. But were they terrorists before the plot began? Did the terror originate from the so-called “terrorists,” or from the FBI planting evidence and convincing someone to carry out a terror attack?

This is worrisome.
