Tillman findings won't be revealed

Billy House, Az Republic

excerpt:
Tillman's parents, widow and other family members did not return telephone calls this week to discuss what they were told about the investigation's findings. But Patrick Tillman Sr., when asked whether it was true that the family was satisfied, responded on Wednesday: "No. And I don't want to talk about it."

News is used to extol the virtues of men such as former professional football player, Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan. This is not to be disrespectful toward Tillman -- a brave and principled man -- but rather to expose those who would use his death for political gain.

The political class always tends to use the lives of others for political gain. It seems to be part of their "job specs." Men like Tillman are an obvious choice for stardom. Men like Mejia must be silenced.

For his sacrifice, Tillman received posthumous citations for bravery in action and the Arizona Cardinals retired the number on his football jersey. Some time later the American public found out that there were no Taliban present when Tillman was killed. An Army investigation found that he was killed by "friendly fire." In other words, he was shot by his own guys.

Oops! How inconvenient!
