Are you familiar with any of the cases during the last several years in which poor folks, usually black and often involved at a mosque, are seduced by FBI informants into plotting terrorist acts? There have been quite a few of them, maybe 10 or more.
An idea is put in their head, money is provided, fake bombs and fake weapons are provided, it's all on tape and video, and it's all a sting? I think even 60 Minutes and HBO have covered this sort of "law enforcement". The Newburgh Five, or something like that, was one. Newburgh NY.
Poor black folks were entrapped and manipulated by federal informants. ATF did some of those years ago too.
That is an easy explanation how the young muslim couple wound up patsies for the "terrorist" role. As they are now dead, there will be no trial, and no insight. The media is doing its job of printing what it's been told, no questions asked. Or, as Scott Pelley demonstrated, a question asked, but the answer disregarded.
The official story does not wash. 3 athletic white guys do not really fit in with a man and his 100 pound wife, but the average American believes in Abbottabad, believes the nonsense of 911, believes what the government says about Benghazi, etc etc.
