I don't see as how it did accomplish anything, either. We have this young man talking some shit for a few years who, not being a leader-type, never tried anything on his own and, being that there was no one to provide him guidance in Corvallis apparently, received guidance from the FBI.

I don't see how this can even be reasonably compared to other FBI sting operations that involve drugs or prostitution. Those operations usually involve 'known qualities.' They know that crimes are going on when they set them up. That doesn't seem to be the case here and I don't think there would be much of an argument here if the suspect involved was someone with a known history of terrorist engagements or organized involvement with a terrorist group.
