>> because so many people have asked me to. and when i found out in california that they don't have a copy of the report that i wrote. >> chief ronald petty of the oklahoma guard led an independent investigation and co-authored the report, the california guard paid for it with tax dollars. sources provided it to us but somehow, 18 months after it was finished, the guard's leadership still does not have a copy. >> you found some serious problems. >> yes. >> and from all indications, nothing significant changed?
