"... In reference to Col. Sabow, the government just recently seal all investigative records on the military's findings on the case..., at the request of the "CIA". I find that to be strange in view of how much time has elapased since the crime ( over 18 years).
Shortly after Col. Sabow's "murder" thr Marine base, El Toro, California was closed and demolished. A housing development is now at that location. Col. Sabow's brother is still fighting hard to get the case re opened, however he has been fighting with the IRS and has been for the last 15 years or so.
The public does not know much about this case. Mainstream media started their investigations, but those investigations soon hit a brick wall and were also shut down. Gary Webb was looking into this before he died. CBS was going to do a one hour program on the facts of the case, but it was shut down three days before it was to air. Sometime later the producer of the program was release from employment. The court case, brought by the Col. Sabows brother rwas thrown out at the request of the DoJ and the CIA.

I was recently told by relatives that President Obama's addministration has been asked to look into this matter, but as of this date... nothing.
I just received an Email from a Latin American Specialist who works for the Department of Defense (DoD) n Washington DC.
I have received permission to post her reply to the above postings, ref., thread " C130's and additional information:

"...Mr. Plumlee...
Is this something that should be brought to the attention of Congress for investigation--in light of the fact that deaths occurred as a result of illegal activities? I am sure there is at least one Federal law that has been violated here.
For example, is there the possibility that those responsible could be tried for complicity in the deaths of the nine firefighters, who--it could be argued--would not have died had those aviation assets gone to the Forest Service as the records were falsified to indicate? The reason is that because those planes appeared (falsely as it turns out) on the Forest Service books, Congress (the body that controls the budget) would have believed that the Forest Service had enough aviation assets for their mission.
Does anyone know if there is a way to bring this to the attention of a Congressional committee or subcommittee?

By working together and taking a stand on these issues, we could get something done in Washington DC. But it would take ALL of us who reads this forum.. to respond and do something other than apathy and perhaps reading these post for entertainment purposes.
