Or maybe he could have figured his shit out and become the poster boy for reformed potential terrorists. Right now this scenario is just as plausible as yours.

I don't think it's law enforcement's responsibility to provide counseling or whatever to every wannabe bad guy they find.

I don't think it is either, in fact, nobody here has said anything about law enforcement providing counseling. I think that providing effective counseling is very likely pretty high on the very long list of things that law enforcement organizations are bad at.
What I said was that it would likely have been cheaper and at least as effective (with respect to making us safer from terrorism) if some sort of non-arresty intervention had occurred.
