No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Anna, a young woman who was paid $65,000 by the FBI to befriend and entrap Eric and his codefendants...EarthFirst! 13.Jan.06
{..]
Eric met Anna in August 2004 and the two remained in contact after that time. It was made clear during trial that Eric had fallen in love with Anna and that she used his feelings to keep him hooked and, eventually, to entrap him. Anna manufactured this "crime" by providing the means for it to occur and by manipulating the three into doing things that would allow her employers to arrest and prosecute them. She constantly pushed and cajoled Eric, Weiner and Jenson when they showed resistance to her plans. She paid for their entire existence - the cabin they lived in, their travel across the country, the car they used, the computers they used (which the FBI later confiscated), groceries and supplies. Weiner testified that Anna pulled $100 bills out of her pocket and gave them to Eric so that he could purchase groceries and supplies...

She paid for gas. She paid for groceries. She paid for the cabin they lived in. She paid for the computers they used. She paid for supplies. She was apparently the only one able to actually acquire “recipes” for bombs.Indybay article on informant Anna(no relation) 03.May.08

When your job is to catch people doing bad things, or about to do bad things, then the danger is that you will come to want people to do bad things. Even though you hate bad things. Even though your life is dedicated to stopping bad things. Because when the most fulfilling thing you have is stopping bad things, you need them.
Another danger is that you won't be all that concerned about any bad things that happen while and because you're stopping bad things, because the bad things you're stopping are all that matters. Collateral damage. The mathematics of fascist terror.
