Pat Tillman’s mother still not sure she’s being told the truth

The mother of Pat Tillman is speaking out about her son’s death in her first television interview, to be broadcast this Sunday on 60 Minutes.

“When I heard it was a friendly fire, I felt terrible for these soldiers,” Mary Tillman stated. “I still do to a degree, but I don’t think it was the horrible accident that they like to play this out. I think there was huge negligence involved here.”

According to the Army, Tillman was firing across a valley at enemy fighters on the other side, but Rangers on the road below thought he was shooting at them and fired back.

A dozen officers and Rangers were disciplined for the incident, but Mary Tillman is still not satisfied. According to CBS, “She points to inconsistencies, including that his uniform was burned after his death, which is against regulations, and that the coroner refused to sign the autopsy for months because his analysis of Tillman’s gunshot wounds was not consistent with the Army’s original story.”

“This isn’t about us,” Mary Tillman told CBS. “This is about what they’ve done to the public. This was a public deception.”

If the republicon homelander chickenhawk "War leaders" can do this to NFL star and All-American patriot Pat Tillman, then they can stoop to the Bottom of the Evil Bucket...I hope millions of Americans will tune in to see how the Bush-republicon chickenhawks are abusing, and lying about, our sons and daughters in uniform.
