Just like in the '60s and '70s, the FBI and now the DHS are spending a huge amount of manpower infiltrating left-wing groups that pose no threat to anybody, instead of catching the next Boston bombers. It's not just electronic surveillance we must worry about.
Meanwhile, the FBI is increasingly setting up sting operations against clumsy, would-be terrorists by infiltrating them with agents provocateurs. Hatching terror plots only to foil them and arrest the terrorist co-conspirators is their idea of "deterrence."
