I do not understand your sympathy for this man. From what I can tell and, hopefully the evidence will continue to show, he was given plenty of opportunity to back out of his plan to blow up men, women and children. It appears that your distrust of the FBI is influencing your emotions.

Yeah. I am saying they don't brainwash and hypnotize. The FBI are glorified cops. We aren't really talking CIA here. Not that I think anyone can really brainwash someone just by chatting with them, I would say you have to remove them from their natural environment completely.
"The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." - George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 1

It's not brainwashing you though.
It is still YOUR mind incorporating and using that information. You still have a choice.
