So, who shot Pat Tillman?

There can't be any doubt in this for the Army.

The shooter knows.

The squad knows.

The staff NCO knows.

The commanding officer knows.

The pentagon knows.

The former Sec Def knows.

The present Sec Def knows.

How long will it be before the information is released?

Will it be believable?

26. My husband and I were just saying that a few minutes ago.

There's too much about it that points to a deliberate take-out, not just some platoon mate or whatever wigging out. Once again, it's the cover-up that makes it look so suspicious.

Those with nothing to hide, hide nothing.

2. Even more interesting is 'WHY'

Within 10 yards makes one wonder if it was on purpose. And if it was an accident, why the massive coverup.

3. It was on purpose.

The poster boy of the Iraq war was going to meet with Noam Chompsky to complain about the illegality of he war. That much is known. They had him whacked. And a lot of people over there have died for much less.

5. And how come Chumpsky has said nothing about his meeting with Tillman?

Does anyone REALLY believe that Chumpsky is in the dark about the
situation?
Sorry, no fan of the man who talks about the empire on end
and yet never of the things he REALLY knows.

14. The meeting never took place because Tillman was murdered

Am I to believe that Chumpsky is not aware of the fact Tillman was murdered
and the KKKabal covered it up for political gains?
Please, show me one documentation of Chumpsky discussing
the murder of Tillman and the cover up, other than a confirmation of a
pending meeting.

19. I am saying this, "Is it not odd that the hero of the so-called left has said nothing?"

I can not find ONE examination by Chomsky concerning Tillman's death.
Don't you find that odd?
Given that they were scheduled to meet and all, and then BLAM,
the guy is murdered?
Pardon me for examining the question as to why Chomsky has been
completely silent on the matter, other than to confirm a meeting was pending.

21. no I don't find it odd

Then again, I'm not terribly familiar with Chomsky's work or what he's been up to lately.

It is a curse and a blessing.

11. Chomsky confirmed the meeting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Tillman

edition of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported that Tillman held views which were critical of the Iraq war and did not support President Bush's re-election. According to Tillman's mother, a friend of Tillman had arranged a meeting with Noam Chomsky, to take place after his return from Afghanistan. Chomsky has confirmed this. <18> The article also reported that Tillman urged a soldier in his platoon to vote for John Kerry in the 2004 U.S. Presidential election.<13>

17. AND HE CONFIRMED THE MEETING.

What other AND do you need? The poster boy of the Iraq war was going to meet with Noam Chomsky, and was talking about the illegality of the war after it being a big news item that he signed up to fight. What else do you need, for Noam Chompsky to be standing there while he got killed by "friendly" fire?

20. And his silence beyond that is DEAFENING.

Sorry, but it is true.
Do you honestly think he has no correspondence from Tillman
in his records that would enhance Tillman's anti- war stance?
Gimme a friggin' break or, some of what you are smoking.

24. what-is-your-point?

So you are claiming not Chompsky has correspondences with Tillman that he hasn't publicly disclosed? Okay. There could be nine million reasons for that. What are you saying?

29. Okay, I'm just going to file this thread in the X-files.

I still don't know what you're implying. I haven't heard of any correspondences between Tillman and Chomsky, nor if there were, would I consider to be of any great significance that Chomsky hadn't publicly published them.

4. An investigation would uncover whose rifle the bullets came from, right?

So why don't we know the shooter?

6. I would bet a number of people

do know. It was part of the coverup. And I would bet Bush knows, hence 'executive privilege'.
