I find it completely unconstitutional that the government can break the very laws they write. If the sale/possession of cocaine is illegal, how is it legal for cops to possess and try to sell cocaine to people?

Do you still think it is a crime if the someone sought out ended up being a government agent?

If i'm understanding your question correctly, the person actively sought out someone to provide him a bomb, then yes, that would be a criminal act, whether it was a government agent or not.
who knows what the truth is at this point, though i'm sure some people will gladly accept the FBIs propaganda at face value over that of someone who wanted to kill people. All that i'm saying is that it's far more likely that most people were goaded and entrapped in to committing these crimes by a criminal agent.
