That specific case - yes it was a stretch, although this brings a question of a mental health -related detention which is a huge can of worms in and of itself.

That specific case - yes it was a stretch, although this brings a question of a mental health -related detention which is a huge can of worms in and of itself. Also there are no specific details on the mental disease he was allegedly struggling with. Dissolving ppl in acid and burning women refusing to have sex with you is a 'mental disease' in my book which is what isis is doing. Should they be exempt from prosecution? That said : "Of 508 defendants prosecuted in federal terrorism-related cases in the decade after 9/11, 243 were involved with an FBI informant, while 158 were the targets of sting operations. Of those cases, an informant or FBI undercover operative led 49 defendants in their terrorism plots, similar to the way Osmakac was led in his." So now 49 cases out of 508 were 'led' by the FBI, not clear how many of those had to do with mentally unfit individuals or if Osmakac was the only one.
