Like I said, I don't necessarily object, nor do I think age and gullibility are an excuse for criminal intent. In his case, I think that intent seems pretty clear. I just hope it doesn't give an impetus to the FBI to set up would-be terrorists in ways that are more insidious. In his case, I also have to wonder whether instead of a set-up, a "we're on to you" warning after they discovered his contact might have done the job of spooking him enough.
Still, glad noone was hurt and this guy's behind bars, no doubt.
