Though, if that is their intent, why did they not go after Gaara? He's pretty damn powerful, and easier to turn, unless they are a good organization, like the Elks...

no matter who they send, they're still going to be a reknown s-rank felon. those are the people that make up the terrorist group. but i do agree that it was probably a bad idea to send itachi back to his hometown.
