Who Murdered Patt Tillman?

Posted by Guest Blogger at 5:33 AM on July 27, 2007.

TRex: Newly released documents confirm that it was a deliberate shooting that killed Pat Tillman, not friendly fire.

"This war is so fucking illegal." (Patrick Tillman)

From the AP:

SAN FRANCISCO -

Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman's forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player's death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.

The doctors - whose names were blacked out - said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.

In other words, Pat Tillman was most likely murdered in the field. In cold blood. By other US soldiers.

This must be what the Bush Administration was trying so desperately to hide behind their all purpose "Executive Privilege" shield.

Of all the disgraceful, sickening things our country has done in the name of "spreading liberty" in the Great War on Terrah, this one is a real prize-winner. I only hope that his family can find some kind of peace in the days ahead. In the wake of such a devastating loss followed by a breathtaking series of insults and brush-offs from the US government and the leadership of the armed forces, if I were in their shoes, I think I would simply have lost my mind by now.

promote a war that he was against, but because he loved his country he enlisted anyway. Why I will never ever understand, but he did. And someone(s) killed him. And they used him to promote what he hated.

There's nothing, no punishment, too severe for those that participated in this obscenity.

and not just with a slap on the wrist either.

Is that there are people in high positions in federal, state and local government who do these kinds of switcheroos on the public all the time, and they think it's normal and it's their job to keep bad news out of the media. So, taking a murder, and turning it into a War Poster Boy is the kind of thinking that will surely get someone promoted.

You find out who was promoted after the Tillman story ran about a year or so, and that's the person who came up with the idea.

It's irrational.

Yep...the qustion that really screams right now is "why". If this was a fragging...what and why? Especially why Tillman who was a walking recruiting poster for this regime?

really wasn't a cheerleader for this war, and had to be silenced. It might be as simple as someone being jealous of him and doing something about it, but I'll assume the worst til proved otherwise.

It's a sad testament to what the cabal in power really thinkd of our soldiers. They literally are just army men on a map to them.

That they could do this to a man of fame and influence shows that they would stop at nothing.

:cry::patriot:

influence, the ones we'll never hear about?:-(

We need independent confirmation; because this is pretty damn bad.

I knew it was a "friendly fire" incident; did not know the details.

Printing in all caps doesn't make your arguments stronger.

-- Investigators have been stymied because some of those involved now have lawyers and refused to cooperate, and other soldiers who were at the scene couldn't be located.

-- Three of the four shooters are now out of the Army, and essentially beyond the reach of military justice.

Seems pretty CONVENIENT to me.

but somehow will have to actually take the case up

Remember Green? (rape, murder of the child and her family?Abeer Qasim Hamza) - civilian courts charged him...the UCMJ is federal law...and murder is a federal crime...so it could happen in Tillman's case as well


My husband just told me to edit to clairfy...lol

those out can't be charged in a military court...but that doesn't mean they can be charged.(unless they are on active reserve now - then the military could get them)

the deaths of the Iraqi people, when no one else would. She was an American, and trusted by the Iraqis. Such a beautiful and noble young lady. The report was that she was ambushed on the road to Iraq's airport. In a blink of an eye, a sore spot for this corrupt administration was gone. I've always had my doubts about this "report".

Thank you for this post. My prayers are with the Tillman family.

Probably a member of his squad who didn't like his politics or something. I am not convinced he was shot to make a poster boy for this war. I think he was executed for his beliefs. Now this is not based on anything I read, but why else would they burn his diary unless he wrote something they didn't like? Maybe he was going to reveal some wrongdoing by someone and they decided to cover it up.

His brother was in his same unit, too, and they burned his diary surreptitiously, without his brother's knowledge.

that his death was used as an example....."You want to end up like that fucker Tillman?? Keep it up with that antiwar shit and you will find yourself going home in a body bag just like that mutherfucker did".
God, I feel dirty just typing that, but I can also hear it being said.

The Tillman Fratricide: What the Leadership of the Defense Department Knew

On Wednesday, August 1, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will hold a hearing to examine what senior Defense Department officials knew about U.S. Army Corporal Patrick Tillman’s death by fratricide.

The following witnesses are invited to testify:

* The Honorable Donald Rumsfeld, Former Secretary of Defense
* Gen. Richard B. Myers (Retired), Former Chair, Joint Chiefs of Staff
* Gen. John P. Abizaid (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Central Command
* Gen. Bryan Douglas Brown (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command
* Lt. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger, Jr. (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command
* Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, Commander, Joint Special Operations Command

and his cronies...I hold them responsible for each and every person killed in this war.

Perhaps his suspicions were around when they issued him a galabea to wear...

They know that elements of their own platoon are ahead of them in the canyon, but they start shooting at people up there without being fired upon themselves, and without identifying the target. :eyes:

What bullshit.
