This story makes it sound pretty legit. I was skeptical when I heard on the news this morning that the FBI was involved in a terror sting. Usually in the US that means goading some moron teenagers into accepting a bomb and bombing instructions from the FBI so that they can have a news conference that justifies their terrorism budget. They said on NPR a few months ago that 100% of domestic FBI terror foils since 9/11 have been of the FBI-created variety. One can be forgiven for being skeptical of their claims at this point.
