I agree with HarmlessRabbit on this one... clearly the guy they caught is an idiot and as others have pointed out regardless of the entrapment he was knowingly selling arms to people who claimed to be willing to use them to blow up planes...
That isn't the issue.
The issue is the way it is being presented in the press. To hear it and read it you would think that some big evil arms dealer was caught as he was trying to sell arms to terrorists. When actually there was no arms dealer (technically yes he was dealing arms but you know what I mean) and there were no terriorists (I'm not saying there aren't terrorists just that in this case there aren't any).
All we have is a desperate idiot willing to sell weapons to make money. Sad. Upsetting. But not worth alarming the nation.
