Yap, agree, that's more appropriate perhaps. This whole "everything I don't agree with is racist" and anyone I don't agree with is a "nazi" is very easy to take too far.
One one hand they have to be suspicious, because counterintelligence it's one of their duties. Especially after the OPM breach.
On the other hand, there is a danger of them going overboard. This is a great example of that:
They send an undercover informant to a mosque in Irvine, CA. Undercover informant instead of listening and observing, starts spewing radical crap and recruiting people. The mosque reports him to the FBI. That was an awkward Monday morning meeting I bet. Or maybe business as usual, who knows...
There is a long tradition, specially by the CIA, of creating their next enemy while fighting the current one.
I'm thinking, for instance, in the freedom fighters against the Russian invasion in Afghanistan, Noriega, weaponization of Iraq against Iran... we could keep going.
