Should we add the Weatherman (and maybe similar organizations) from the 70's (hitherto) to this article? --Taboo Tongue 18:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No. I think the first thing to do is define the inclusion criteria for this article. While this article currently lacks inclusion criteria, those articles that have been included, so far, are mostly about foreign [state?] actors, militarily attacking or invading U.S. territory, not domestic terrorists or criminals already on U.S. territory. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:03, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

message: This article currently lacks inclusion criteria. However, most of those articles that have been included, so far, are generally about foreign [state?] actors, militarily attacking or invading U.S. territory. Exceptions are the American Civil War, and the terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda. However, if one considered the involvement of military forces in these campaigns usually involves the declaration of war, either before, during or after the attack. This article should exclude domestic terrorists incidents or criminal activity that primarily involves a law enforcement response as the lead agency,  even though there was military reinforcement or backup was provided by the military services. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:03, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
