A slick FBI informant roped four Muslim converts into a horrific terror plot to blow up synagogues and military jets by handing them piles of cash and gifts and even bags of weed, relatives of the suspects said today.
“Brother whatever you need, I will get it for you,” said the man who the four petty thieves knew as Maqsood, according to Kathleen Baynes, whose long-time boyfriend, James Cromitie is alleged to be the ringleader of the plot.She said Cromitie, 45, met Maqsood at the Masjid al-Ikhlas mosque about a year ago and promised to teach him the truth about Islam.
The man soon was coming by their apartment with increasing frequency and was always flush with cash.
“He was very persistent and every time he came for James he took him away. They said they were going out to eat dinner,” she said. “Whenever we needed anything Maqsood would help — like financially — he gave us money to pay rent.

I’m guessing the Feds leaned on Maqsood HARD for his “cooperation”. You know, “In this pocket I have wads of cash and a clean slate for your petty crimes. In this pocket I have a bullet with your name on it. hey, your family look like nice people. It would be a shame if something unfortunate should happen to them. So anyway, as I was saying: do we have an understanding? That’s good. That’s REAL good.”
Know what I’m sayin’?

why does everyone expect the FBI to be so ethical and moral?
i’m pretty sure anytime one person tries to geta another to do something illegal or immoral there’s some form of enticement involved. whether it be the made up terrorists overseas or the ones here. weed, money, and video games is just like 72 virgins to most broke people in america..so what’s the difference really? when some douche blows up an embassy to get his virgins no one gets mad at the guy who convinced him there’s a reward, so why be upset with the federal pigs in this case? if you really expect any govt official, let alone law enforcement, to be ethical i’m surprised you were able to type in this website address without severely injuring yourself…
quite the double standard we carry in this silly nation
while i honestly believe what the FBI did to these idiots is wrong, i can’t help but think that these guys were more than willing to be taken advantage of and obviously were willing to do something illegal, potentially murder, for rewards of petty cash, video games, and weed…all things they could’ve very easily got just by working a full time job. these guys had money problems, sick relatives in need of help, criminal records so they were prime targets for this sort of thing sure, but that doesn’t excuse their ignorance nor their willingness to commit muder in the name of some story book god for money they should’ve known was too good to be true.
all in all i think they’ll be up for darwin awards when they die..they just seem like the type

So by your logic, its ok for the FBI to set you up to bomb a mosque for a bag of weed, and then swoop in to foil your diabolical “plan” so they can look like heroes (not to mention be able to impose more martial law). I doubt you’re familiar with the term “double speak” from Orwell’s 1984 but you are quite adept at holding two oposing thoughts at the same time.
“why does everyone expect the FBI to be so ethical and moral?”
“while i honestly believe what the FBI did to these idiots is wrong…”
So you’re ok with entrapment and see no problem when do it to you if your opinion differs from theirs?

re-read it now that you know the difference between a statement and a question..
questions are punctuated with these ??? they are called question marks, enjoy.
and know your nations history..my point was that the FBI does this all the time, they did it to the Mafia, timothy mcvay, etc…Why expect different of them now? while yes it’s wrong and unethical, we’re discussing the most unethical branch of govt here.
the moral of the story don’t accept money, weed, or video games in exchange for your role in the murder of innocent people or any other illegal act and you don’t have to worry about being suckered into an entrapment case. the idea that these guys were coerced is retarded, the girlfriends even said none of them were radicals ever, they didn’t even pray like muslims should so that means they were open to the idea of commiting crimes for money, plain and simple they were cool with it.

More and more of these ‘domestic terrorists’ will ‘arise’ in the following months to years, which will allow the US to instate martial law on the country. Once they have done that, they will do away with the current justice and policing system, and all people that commit serious offenses or act out or voices their opinion against government policy/martial law will be labeled as terrorists or extremists, and end up in Fema camps with other innocent people and criminals without trial and human rights.

NOTE TO GOVERNMENT AGENCY(s) READING THESE POST’S: I prefer good green skunk bud- But will accept payments with any weed as long as its not that brown Mexican s--- that is going around.
Please have it bagged and weighed out IN ADVANCE.
My Prices to snitch are as follows.
Speeders, noisy neighbors, small misdemeanor s---- 1 quarter ounce
Suspicious people who might be terrorist because they read the Constitution- 1 full ounce (no shake)
Really bad people who (gasp) have firearms- 4 ounces
PLEASE NOTE: On second thought your weed is probably soaked in Fluoride and laced with poison. Therefore, I will sell what you give me in order to buy “real” weed so I will also need immunity and perhaps around the clock protection like you give the Judges.
Thank You

How sad they have to stoop so low as to mess with the minds of the simple and easily influenced. Just realy shows what type of people they are to even be able to think of something like this, let alone carry it out. They will sink lower than a truck in a tar pit to carry out their plans. Pathetic isn’t it. And by the way, is this informant going to be charged with possession and supply of an illegal drug? Where did he get and and why was he allowed to use it in this way?

Here’s how we handle the pothead4: Give each one million dollars in an account ( BofA or citi– they’re really hurting). Give each a genuine certificate of apology signed by the AG, prez and head of fbi. Relocate to City of Choice in usa. Pick a holiday to celebrate their martyrdom; call it pothead4 day. Each gets a single shot bolt action .22 with a cheap 4 power scope to be used only in the hunting down of the fbi ” informant”( whatever that even means anymore). Each is given a ghostwriter and agent and put on all the talk shows starting with John Stewart. Each is given shrink-rap sensitivity training by Spook Shrinks from Spokane so that they may become more tolerant. And, most important, each is given a genuine blank permission slip to hand to any law enforcement officer or any other kind of hall monitor that might capture them.

Then she changes tak and starts ripping into the fact that he took money…”he didn’t have to take the money” she says. In no way is she appalled by the fact that the arrest of these clowns violated God knows how many laws and the entire section of the constitution all of which outlaw ENTRAPMENT.

The man soon was coming by their apartment with increasing frequency and was always flush with cash. “He was very persistent and every time he came for James he took him away. They said they were going out to eat dinner,” she said. “Whenever we needed anything Maqsood would help — like financially –he gave us money to pay rent. “He was just constantly around. It was like he was stalking him.”
Co-conspirator David Williams’s girlfriend Cassandra McKoy insists the men were duped into the plot with the lure of a cash payday and that religious hatred had nothing to do with it.
“They aren’t radicals they were just financially motivated. They aren’t terrorists. If Maqsood wasn’t in the picture they would’ve never come up with this idea,” she said. “This was not their idea. They make it sound like they sought him out and said we want to do this when he’s the one who approached them. He enticed them with money. “Maqsood wasn’t even allowed inside the mosque, he waited in the parking lot for them and offered them $25,000 to join.”
