TED: How this FBI strategy is actually creating US-based terrorists | Trevor Aaronson

The video discusses the FBI's shift in focus to counterterrorism post-9/11, highlighting its use of informants in sting operations. It argues that the FBI often targets mentally ill individuals, creating 'terrorists' rather than catching real threats. The Intercept's investigation reveals questionable practices, supported by research and case studies. Recent operations, such as those involving ISIS suspects, are also examined, suggesting a pattern of entrapment rather than genuine threat prevention.
