Here's an excellent breakdown by Glenn Greenwald on the case against 19-year-old Somali-American, Mohamed Osman Mohamud.
His second and third points are most noteworthy.
Clearly these disillusioned schmucks aren't completely innocent, but the Muslim community in America needs to call out the FBI on their slimy tactics used to entice, entangle, and enable these misguided individuals (they freakin' gave the kid $3000 to pay his rent!!).
I've grown tired of this endless stream of entrapment cases by the US government. Not sure when American Muslims will finally take a stand against these PR stunts which are ruining lives of young Muslims.
Sadly, in the present political climate, American Muslims are in no position to make such demands. But hey, Muslims in America are more free to practice their religion than in the Muslim world.
Yaaayyyy?
Just don’t call it genocide

WOW. Those guys really are morons, what would they do if they had to deal with real terrorists ? Fake evidence and blame it on an oil rich country so that the resource could be stolen ?
Call me a conspiracy theorist but by finding individual schmucks who officially have no ties to Al-Qaeda but who may wish to be part of it, the FBI and by extension US Govt., can claim that OMG Al-Qaeda is still planning attacks! and threaten its "allies" in the Pakistani, Saudi, Afghan, etc govts. I mean now I think Al-Qaeda's become like the boogeyman, something to scare people with and make them believe is more powerful than it really is...
