![In terrorism sting operations, government informants facilitate or encourage the commission of terrorism offenses, enabling the prosecution of suspects who agree to commit them
(Hay 2005). Stings have the potential to prevent terror attacks by infiltrating terrorist conspiracies, which may have occurred in a few cases. Yet, in numerous post-9/11 investigations, government informants have targeted individuals with no previous terrorist plans for
aggressive inducement attempts, even though the defendants would realistically never have
committed terror offenses on their own (Said 2015). In some cases, informants attempted
to radicalize defendants, repeatedly pressured them, or offered them hundreds of thousands of dollars to commit a terrorist offense (Norris and Grol-Prokopczyk 2015). Many
defendants were severely mentally ill or were so inept or dysfunctional that it is extremely
unlikely they could have engaged in terrorism independently (Aaronson 2013). As Human
Rights Watch concluded, the FBI’s “discriminatory and overly aggressive” operations—
primarily against Muslim-Americans—“created terrorists out of law-abiding individuals
by… facilitate[ing] or invent[ing] the target’s willingness to act” (2014: 2, 21).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mbsab43g7tpt5yxcowqirq2m/bafkreih7fe7x6ewf254widln6zsdslk2qkiatywzpwmozrg4ugn5wihgsq)
