NPOV[edit]

Most of the page seems balanced at first sight (I haven't studied it in depth), but to start it off with "unjustly arrested" makes it immediately NPOV. Also, the long section about operation backfire and all the different arrests is too long for an article about one of the arrested people, but that is not a case of NPOV but of making it a better article (and for a brandnew article, it is quite good already!).

well, the 'unjustly' was removed form the lead... so i took out the npov notice. i agree about the length of the arrests section, especially considering that there is a Green Scare and Operation Backfire page already. frymaster 23:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Extremists? Violence? Lots of bias[edit]

Extremism is subjective and very biased because it makes you think of crazy terrorists. You can argue as much as you want whether you believe he really is a terrorist despite the fact he has never killed anyone but either way, I think it would be most neutral to change it to activist or something similar.

Additionally, I notice that arson is reffered to as a violent crime? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.123.9.255 (talk) 19:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
