It's a bad deal, this Tillman story, from the night he was killed up to this minute. And you know how pissed I was when this story first broke, and how his death was the result of a byzantine command structure. I don't know where this will go from here, but things like this, in the past, have been major turning points. You can be sure the powers that be want this to go away, fast. I think it is grossly under reported.... It's that same deal again, as the story alluded to, you ask questions and you are called unpatriotic, which is idiotic. ___________ "The military let him down," Mary Tillman told the Post. "The [Bush] administration let him down. It was a sign of disrespect. The fact that he was the ultimate team player and he watched his own men kill him is absolutely heartbreaking and tragic. The fact that they lied about it afterward is disgusting." "After it happened, all the people in positions of authority went out of their way to script this," Tillman's father said. "They purposely interfered with the investigation. They covered it up. I think they thought they could control it, and they realized that their recruiting efforts were going to go to hell in a handbasket if the truth about his death got out. They blew up their poster boy."
