Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the FBI

Description

This is my very first illustration for the New York Times, appearing today (4/29/12) on page 4 of the Sunday Review section. The article it was for discusses how the FBI actively lure would-be domestic terrorist sympathizers into fake terror plots they supply and make opportunity for. When these amateur terrorists act on the FBI's push, the Feds bust in and "save the day", and then the media gets a nice successful FBI sting to report on. Apparently this is perfectly legal, but the article asks would these sympathizers have ever acted on their own without the FBI giving them materials and opportunity?
