Friendly Fire? Who Needs Enemies


New evidence came out today indicating Pat Tillman was not only shot and killed by American troops--but at close range. Pat Tillman was reportedly about to speak out against the prosecution of the war. Read the story at Mystical Maven's place and Crooks and Liars as reported by the AP..

This will have more of an impact on the American public than the monthly excursions of Abu Gonzales to lie to Congress. Drip drip drip.

Op99, you're at least 99% correct. ;-)

They screwed up this story, and because its mythical elements are so strong, now they can't make it go away. They can't prove he was NOT murdered in cold blood, so it doesn't matter if he wasn't. In trying to stay in control of the myth after he got killed, they pushed it too far by giving him a Silver Star and sending in the damage control Haz-Mat team at the same time.

They blew it so badly that Pat Tillman is now a metaphor for what happened to the American public.
