filmand then telling acting with more
described as just a fantastic fuckingstory alden and uh... and i think it did
it is a very important one performedtheater bring out the study of the west
side of to see itall my question a few questions one iskevin till thenwith a couple of very minor exceptions
his testimonyfor the congress against there at the
endis not uppart of the story now from the film
obviously cannot be treated with thestory be wasn't since you've heard the
film in temperatures not thati was it wasn't pets brother kevin
financially repeat alexandria matrixfucking outand what's whatmatt welch kevin was umwe got involved right around at that
first congressional hearingand that was right when kevin hadcompromisesfirm decision not to be a public figureand it was a humiliating you know
pointless exercise formuh... and so by the time we really set
out for mejust not goodyou do that againbut he helped us a lot on background
russ bear never would have spokeaggressivethat everybodywho we tried to speak withcall other danny or kevin to find out is
ok including by the way kansianyou know that's the power that this
family has that phil kenzie who's in asomewhat adversarial role with the
family called the dannysay are these guys okayenso kevin kevin helped us a lot put us
in touch of people but he didn't want tobe on camera and you know it doesyou knowthey have a healthy sense of their
privacy of what's public much privatesomething we really admire about them in
you know as richard richard also by theway turned us downand we finished the film without his
participationand then we showed it to him and he saidgosh you know i'm sorry i turned it down
i wish i hadn't done that and we said wecan get on a ratherand we put them on a plane and open all
film up and put them in therebut when we are interviewing richard we
asked him about kevin and he saidsomething likekevin it was an under packing rock you
know i mean kevin talked with his friendto talk to his family he just doesn't
want tobecome a celebrity based on this tragedy
and he anne also you know they don'ti mean the family time and time againrefused to let us drift internally
a_t_r_ referred innovative wantsmurray for instance one let us ask her
about their life together at all thoseon the ground rules she didn't want to
see their memories turned into thesekind of like cheap sound biteswhich he already seen done you know in
and countless you know mainstreamoutletskevin same thing i think is a way for
them to kinda hold onto their memoriesto not filter them back throughthis very public arena you know and i
think they they they wanted they sawthere was some utility in doing it for
themselvesyou know other dangers andand we collaborated with them to try and
navigate through thatand animated ultimatelyan absolutely huge moment as i'm sure
you can imagine when we then she showedus the family the film which for us wasanimus soul they might not have liked it
alotdifferentlysummoning kept away from any and all and
it wastotally overwhelminguniform and to say to us the pathwould love this film was likeunusually mementosalmost more like an deal with hisit was gives us an extraordinary was
very gratifying because they put theirtrust in us kevin included and andit was it was a huge number one the
email so they thought we could catch upbut you are there when josh in accent
from the putting makeslester astonishing and for the first
time and i wasso ready for the sharp blow to the back

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform holds a hearing entitled "Misleading Information from the Battlefield." The hearing focuses on the death of Army Ranger Specialist Patrick Tillman in Afghanistan and the capture and rescue of Army Private Jessica Lynch in Iraq. The Committee examines why inaccurate accounts of these two incidents were disseminated, the sources and motivations for the accounts, and whether the appropriate Administration officials have been held accountable. Rep. Elijah Cummings questions Specialist Patrick Tillman's brother Kevin Tillman about communications inside the White House related to his brother.
The Oversight Committee holds a hearing, "The Tillman Fratricide: What the Leadership of the Defense Department Knew." The hearing is part of an ongoing investigation and follows a previous hearing held in April. Witnesses will include former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Former Commander of U.S. Central Command Gen. John P. Abizaid (Retired), Former Chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Richard B.

This is an amazing bridge. The 1,900-foot engineering wonder perched 890 feet above the Colorado River bridges 2 states, Nevada and Arizona. It took five years and 21,000 workers to build the dam, and it cost $240 million. The Mike O'Callaghan and Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is the longest bridge built with concrete arches in the western hemisphere, according to the Transportation Department. The arches measure 1,060 feet.

Construction of the Colorado River Bridge is advancing on the 1,060 foot twin-rib concrete arch. The Colorado River Bridge is the central portion of the Hoover Dam Bypass Project. Construction on the nearly 2,000 foot long bridge began in late January 2005 and the completion of the entire Hoover Dam Bypass Project is expected in Late 2010.
BAR-LEV: There's a sense that this is a story that is over. That this is something we look back on about the Bush administration. In fact, this is a story that continues to this day. Nobody's ever been called to account for their actions...This was a deliberate attempt to cover up the facts.
