WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM MOHAMED MOHAMUD?
One thing we've learned is that Mr. Johnson makes no reference at all, whatsoever, to the role of the FBI.The facts of the case make out a motif, and questions come naturally to mind. Yet beyond the facts of the case a polite silence ensues.Certainly Johnson has been politely silent.
And the "facts" of the case? A real lawyer notes:
But it may also just as easily be the case that the FBI -- as they've done many times in the past -- found some very young, impressionable, disaffected, hapless, aimless, inept loner; created a plot it then persuaded/manipulated/entrapped him to join, essentially turning him into a Terrorist; and then patted itself on the back once it arrested him for having thwarted a "Terrorist plot" which, from start to finish, was entirely the FBI's own concoction. Having stopped a plot which it itself manufactured, the FBI then publicly touts -- and an uncritical media amplifies -- its "success" to the world, thus proving both that domestic Terrorism from Muslims is a serious threat and the Government's vast surveillance powers -- current and future new ones -- are necessary.
