"In an analysis of five hundred terrorism-related cases brought
since September 11th, the journalist Trevor Aaronson found that
nearly half of them involved a confidential informant. In some
cases, the threat posed by the target was remote."-- Evan Osnos,

"The Terror Factory is a well-researched and fast-paced exposé of
the dubious tactics the FBI has used in targeting Muslim Americans
with sting operations since 2001."-- Michael German, Reason
