Your examples are comically ironic considering you are trying to justify FBI actions, given that the weight of evidence is in: "Time and again, the FBI concocts a Terrorist attack, infiltrates Muslim communities in order to find recruits, persuades them to perpetrate the attack, supplies them with the money, weapons and know-how they need to carry it out — only to heroically jump in at the last moment, arrest the would-be perpetrators whom the FBI converted, and save a grateful nation from the plot manufactured by the FBI."

That's because what they do is knowingly support terrorism, which is completely different.

It would be even funnier... if it was not true. Better to laugh than cry I guess:

A bipartisan band of former Washington officials and politicians... have been paid large sums of money to speak at [terrorist group] MeK events and meet with its leaders

The MeK has engaged in an aggressive legal and lobbying campaign in Washington over the past two years to win its removal from the State Department’s [foreign Terrorist organization] list. . . .

People are only willing to pay a little more for clean energy because the full environmental cost of polluting energy has not been realized or seen by the majority, yet. Ask those in expanding tornado zones, or in newly created flood zones what they would pay for clean energy and Ill wager you will get very different results...

Am I the only one who expected this to be about some company which tried to patent the wheel?

If only they had invented patents/lawers and all that legislate "innovation and progress" jazz. Just think of the monopolistic royalties that could have been reaped upon mankind, owning rights to the wheel! Dangerous circumventing devices like horses would have been made illegal shortly after invention - smelly unpredictable beasts anyway. Best of all they could have established a fitting punishment for thieving dirty pirates back when and eye for a eye was politically correct thing to do. Piriator/gladiator arenas might have been invested millennia before the Romans came along.
