The originally stated intent was for the federal government

Judge Boyle dismissed the charges against Waite. Those that know Green and how his mind works believe the dismissal dealt a severe blow to his bureaucratic esteem. They believe Green was awaiting the day when he could even some imaginary score.


We can gain some insight into Green's behavior through comments found on a USDA Forest Service “Report of Investigation” document dated October 15, 1998. The document describes how Green was told by Challis Ranger District helicopter pilot P.J. Smith that he had seen Waite hauling large pieces of Douglas fir to his property from across the helicopter base. “Smith informed Green that Waite was also stacking some of the wood on a piece of property that was owned by the Forest Service.”


According to Hari Heath, a staff writer for The job function email list Idaho Observer, the federal government is merely administrating state land (The Big Lie: Federal Ownership of Public Lands, The Idaho Observer, August, 2001).

Heath quoted from the U.S. Constitution, the Idaho State Constitution, implementing legislation and other authoritative documents to prove that federal ownership of public lands is a big lie. In fact, there are 52,712 square miles of the Big Lie in Idaho and 70 percent of the acreage west of the Rockies is also part of the Big Lie.

To manage certain state lands that were “owned” by the public. Even if federal ownership was the actual intent of federal management, it wasn't until recently that federal agents would be so brazen as to openly admit their belief that the federal government “owns” public lands.


In a letter to Assistant U.S. Attorney Wendy Olsen, Waite's attorney in the wood case James Annest demanded that Green be brought before a grand jury for possible indictment on charges of perjury.
