Tillman Investigation Hampered by "near universal lack of recall"

[Psychoblues]

Hmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,I wonder what they're still trying to hide about this case?

"Report Sought Answers on Who Knew About Friendly Fire Incident

White House officials interviewed as part of an investigation into the misleading information given to the public and the Tillman family in the weeks after the death of Corporal Pat Tillman have said they do not recall when they first learned that Tillman was killed as a result of friendly fire, according to a proposed report released today by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

The committee set out to determine when top officials at the White House and Defense Department learned that Tillman had been killed in a friendly fire incident. Tillman, a former NFL star and perhaps the most famous soldier to die in Afghanistan, was killed on April 22, 2004. His death was widely covered by the media and Tillman was posthumously awarded a Silver Star just days after his death.

It was not until over a month later, on May 29, 2004, that the public and Tillman's family were officially informed that his death was very likely due to friendly fire.

The committee says that in their quest to find out when officials first knew about the possibility that Tillman's death was not due to enemy fire, they were "frustrated by a near universal lack of recall," according to the report.

The committee interviewed several senior White House officials including former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, communications director Dan Bartlett, former Press Secretary Scott McClellan, and chief speech writer Michael Gerson.............."

As usual, I smell an even bigger coverup than we already know about!!!!!!!! But, this is not surprising from a conservative administration, is it? Going all the way back to tricky dicky, R. Reagan (Iran/Contra), etc. the modem operandi is always "I don't know". As was the case in Watergate we'll have to depend on honest and competent journalism to get to the real truth of what happened.

Marteen, you posted within my post and didn't include anything to indicate your overwriting. Go back to your post here, #8 I think, and reread it. I think you'll catch it. If you continue to have a prob I'll give additional instruction, my friend.

Tillman was killed by friendly fire, period. Is the White House somehow responisble for that particular incident? Are they trying to cover up when they learned it could of been friendly fire? Are they not supposed to just let the Army conduct their investigation? Or are they supposed to micro-manage every situation and investigation?

[gabosaurus]

We should let the Army investigate something that they tried to cover up earlier?

[theHawk]

Yes, the Army is perfectly capable of policing its own. Maybe a few officers tried to hide things. The JAG or whatever the Army equivlant is, its meant to find out any wrong doing within the Army.

Whenever the military hierarchy does an "investigation" of itself, it always comes out the same: Bullshit in, bullshit out.

You do realize that the Abu Ghraib story was first broke by the Army doing its own investigation right?

[Psychoblues]

That's not true, hawk. The Washington Times sat on that story for months waiting for the Army tro break it so they could contribute. The Army kept dragging their feet so the Washington Times sold it to the Washington Post and they broke it. The army, as usual, didn't know how to handle the bad news.
