Bierley, 922 F.2d 1061 (3d Cir.1990), we held that a sentencing court has authority to depart downward under the Sentencing Guidelines by analogy to the adjustment for Mitigating Role in the Offense if defendant would have been entitled to that adjustment hád the supplier, an undercover postal inspector, been a criminally culpable participant.
