Tillman's brother blasts Pentagon over probe

House chairman raises questions about ex-NFL star's death, rescue of Lynch

MSNBC staff and news service reports
Updated: 10:40 a.m. PT April 24, 2007

WASHINGTON - Pat Tillman's brother accused the military Tuesday of "intentional falsehoods" and "deliberate and careful misrepresentations" in initially portraying the football star's death in Afghanistan as the result of heroic engagement with the enemy instead of friendly fire.

"We believe this narrative was intended to deceive the family but more importantly the American public," Kevin Tillman told a hearing of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, which was also looking at how the military portrayed the rescue of Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch.

i watched a piece of his testimony today, and it will be interesting to see if the american public finally starts to realize that they were duped.

or maybe they already realize it and just don't care.

Here's an article below that was just put out. This is about The Jessica Lynch Myth. Not about Tillman but it is related to Tillman as she testified before a Congressional Committee and it reveals how the military spins stories for the public. A lot of the references to the "Military Times" newspaper.

Myth Making

Congressional investigators have discovered that at least one U.S. military official provided the media with details about Jessica Lynch’s heroic acts—a tale that was later proven to be untrue

Meanwhile, no Israeli's are getting their asses shot off while the American taxpayer is sending their citizens $10,000,000 a day, that we know about.

Check out the wackos who now subscribe to the theory that Tillman was killed by Cheney & Bush!

Pat Tillman was a reader Noam Chomsky and planned to meet Chomsky on his return from service. Tillman also referred to the Iraq war as "f*cking illegal". This information was reported by Tillman's own mother. He doesn't sound like an inbred twat to me. He gave up a million-dollar profession to give his life for his country in an Afghan war that (unlike Iraq) arguably has some logical connection to his country's defense.

What is disturbing about this case is that Pat Tillman- a genuine, three dimensional person in real life rather than a macho pinup boy for boneheads- was dishonestly used as exactly that following his tragic death.

Extremely cynical and manipulative, a total lack of respect for the Truth, his memory, and his family- not to mention the American public. In short, a compelling expose' of the Bush administrations ethics in action.

Exactly what I was getting at sabang. Storekeeper seems to be saying it's ok for the Govt. to lie and use his death for propaganda purposes because it means others can't!?

raycarey · 23-08-2008, 01:21 PM

considering how the US military lied repeatedly about tillman's death, why should anyone believe that mccain was tortured before he signed a statement declaring he was a war criminal? it could easily be argued that the military made up this story so that his admiral father wouldn't lose face.

christ if the son of an admiral can't teake the heat of being a prisoner, that doesn't really send a strong message to the world, does it?

The Vietnamese "broke" him.

Suicide attempts and letters supporting his captors.

President? I don't think so.
