=Rod Coronado / Auburn 3=

Operation Backfire is not related to Rod Coronado. So far he has not been connected to the cases in the North West except that he is a friend of at least one of the defendants. So far there have been 14 indictments in operation backfire. The Auburn or Sacramento 3 are also not part of Operation Backfire. The targets of Operation Backfire include an alleged "super cell" of the ELF called "The Family" Dumpster 05:24, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Read the sources, the sypathetic media are grouping them all together under the one operational name, even if the FBI are not. It might be prudent to note that, but since its not entirely clear what the FBI considers the name to cover, i figured they should all be mentioned. Rockpocket 05:28, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The Indymedia article does not mention the Auburn 3 and they were not mentioned by the FBI in the January press conference. They are all part of "the Green Scare." Dumpster 06:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I moved the Auburn 3 / Rod info over to the new "Green Scare" pageDumpster 06:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Fair point, i added back just a brief mention of the other indictments for context (with the media sources that group them together). Mainly because the criticism seems to encompass the whole range or arrests. I agree that they are better served being described in detail in the green scare article though.

PETA
In this edit, User:Martial Law added PETA to the See Also section, with the edit summary: "(→See also - Incl. PETA, since they contribute money, support to the Animal Liberation Front)"

It is impossible to contribute money to the Animal Liberation Front. There are no presidents, there are no leaders, there are no organizations. The Animal Liberation Front is not a physical body. Now, you can donate money to ALF Support, who are a seperate organization, who support political prisoners. One can also donate to individual prisoner support funds, which I believe is what User:Martial Law ios talking about. Canæn 05:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually he is probably talking about their contributions to the legal defence funds of those who were charged with commiting criminal acts in the name of the ALF, Specifically Rod Coronado (which, come to think of it, may actually be the same thing Canæn is referring to). While that is tantamount to supporting the ALF for all intents and purposes, i personally don't think that see also link to PETA is that relevent here, but if no-one else protests, i'm not going to argue it.

 * That's exactly what I mentioned, Rockpocket. I don't see the point of the link, but don't really care. [[Image:Icons-flag-scotland.png]] Canæn [[Image:Icons-flag-scotland.png]] 06:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * A recent HBO documentary claims the FBI has infiltrated PETA to take out this "Animal Rights" org as a terrorist org. I've seen it. 205.240.144.214 (talk) 21:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Eric McDavid
His article states he was sentenced and released - but the page here says he is due to be sentenced. So the information needs to be updated. I would do it but I'm not experienced enough to know how to rewrite it or add citations. Dursland (talk) 07:52, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Info Box Structure
I don’t think the structure for a battle or war seems appropriate for this page Brownhorse0 (talk) 05:25, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
