"the fact that the author cited the site and not a particular author makes me think he took it from an anonymous entry into a "diary.""

Yes, Seminole. That's why I posted the video link so you can look at what Clark actually said. In regard to the arranged meeting between Tillman and Noam Chomsky, Tillman's mother, citing her son's friend, is the source. This article below appears on Chomsky's official website, which lends credibility to the claim that such a meeting was arranged:

Chomsky is living. Surely someone will interview him.

Freezerbox Magazine article, Pat Tillman and Noam Chomsky--an Unlikely Pair or Two of a Kind?, by Russ Wellen (September 26, 2005): "[I]t turns out that the brainy Tillman, who while an NFL player, pursued his masters in history, hadn't signed up to parrot the administration line. His self-appointed mission was to fight bin Laden and Taliban. He was thus dismayed to find himself briefly stationed in Iraq, which he thought was an illegal war.

"Not only that but, as his mother said, "a friend of Pat's even arranged a private meeting with Chomsky, the antiwar author [who he read and admired], to take place after his return from Afghanistan--a meeting prevented by his death."
