Tonight's NIGHTLINE: Did Rummy bury the Tiger Force investigation?

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/WNT/Investigation/vietnam_tiger_force_031112-1.html

"There was a cover-up," said The (Toledo) Blade's Weiss. "There is no doubt about it."

"We don't know at this point who killed the investigation," said Sallah. "We don't know why no one was charged. We do know it reached the top levels of government."

The Army sent regular reports on the investigation to the Nixon White House between 1971 and 1973, Sallah and Weiss reported. The final decision to keep the case quiet and not prosecute was made in November 1975, when Nixon's successor, Gerald Ford, was urging the country to heal from the wounds of Vietnam. It was also the month James Schlesinger resigned as secretary of defense and was replaced by Donald Rumsfeld, who was the youngest secretary of defense in U.S. history.

2. I got a wicked strong karmic hunch on this cover-up

and Rummy's involvement.

I'll bet you can intuit what I am intuiting.

3. It sure does sound like it

If it walks like a duck....

Especially true of he doesn't want to talk about it now. If everything was on the up and up then, it shouldn't matter talking about it now.

I wonder what Gerald Ford has to say? He can't claim Alzheimers as an excuse.
