Several OKC witnesses insisted Brescia is John Doe 2. One famiy even filed a lawsuit to that effect circa 1997.[1] Kwantus 04:13, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Did the FBI think Kenneth Trentadue[2] was part of this group? Kwantus 20:14, 2005 May 26 (UTC)

Is there a source for the "elite military experience" the article mentions? "Elite military experience" reads as if he served US Special Operations Forces in some capacity. I did some googling, and could not find any mentions of military service, let alone service within the SOF community. Is this a mistake, if so, it more than likely is a reference to the paramilitary training he received from members of the Aryan Republican Army.

Here's the exact line taken from the 3rd paragraph, 2nd line. "The sheriff said the Secret Service were seeking the man's help in another investigation involving Michael William Brescia, a member of the Midwest Bank Robbers who is said to have elite military experience."

"Brescia's primary interaction with the right wing militia movement appears to have been spawned by a teenage interest in racist skinhead music." Does anyone else find this a little far fetched? It just seems to me to be an unsourced attack stating that certain types of music caused this man to become a racist criminal. Perhaps change it to merely state he had a teenage interest in racist skinhead music, without calling it the cause of his joining the right wing milita movement. Vindexus 08:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
