In other "real" employer would immediately fire these people for falsifying data!

These individuals should not just be fired. They committed a criminal act. They broke federal law and tried to prevent access to national forests by citizens of the United States WHO OWN THOSE FORESTS. They should be spending about twenty years in a federal prison.

Federal employees regularly break the law, keep their jobs (so they can break it again) and get away with it. Meanwhile, CITIZENS who break the same laws rot in jail!

You're right. This scale of this fraud/theft attempt should be equal to the value of the lands that would have been taken. Attempted grand larceny or destruction of govenment property on a massive scale. It doesn't matter that they weren't going to benefit monetarily.

This is like attempting to poison a giant resevoir of water to prevent it's use. It's ideological terrorism. I would bet there are cells of these biologists all throughtout the country attacking our system in this way.

Thank you. This is worthy of repeat.
There should be legal repercussions for this outrage.
