‘It will be a bloodbath’:

[Dondilion]

Be wary: Is the confidential informer the leader in formulating the plan?

Is he the driving force behind the plan?

Okay. What gives you the idea that these potential terrorists were entrapped?

Nothing in the story indicates that to me. Specific things the other defendants are described as doing certainly would make them culpable. The 'confidential informant' is not actually described as an undercover agent. Evidence is needed to back up your suspicion that the informant may have actually been a provocateur, and at the moment I see none at all. But it isn't impossible, of course.

Anytime there is a informer involved in a case, I pass no judge until I have some idea of his or her involvement.

The FBI because of its informant history has evolved higher standards than say the New York Police Department.

However I still remain uneasy. They are too many enabling informers.
