In the latest entry in the venerable series, Team Rainbow faces off against the True Patriots, a well-organized and well-funded revolutionary group aiming to overthrow a U.S. government they feel has been rendered useless by corruption. Players will have to make “tough ethical decisions” as the story progresses, signaling a brand new direction for the franchise. Perhaps that’s why they’ve stopped using Rainbow Six in favour of the sleeker, sexier Rainbow 6.
“Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6. In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction,” said David Sears, creative director at Ubisoft. “This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience.”
So we’re in for a deeper, more compelling single-player experience than the series has ever seen, plus some new multiplayer and co-op features that will reward teamwork and cooperation, two elements that have always been close to the heart of the series.
Rainbow 6: Patriots kicks down doors in 2013. Expect to be choked with assets and information between now and then.

So unless there’s more to the group described in the game, it’d be hard to pin it down as one specific reflection of any real-world group/organization.
Well except PETA. If it were them they’d just be killing people and wouldn’t bother addressing corruption. ;-P
