Pat Tillman’s Parents Discuss ‘The Tillman Story’ on Larry King Live
“… I don’t think they are very honorable people. I know they were lying. I mean, and I think that — you know, like, you know, Pat and I are talking about, you know, we feel that there could have been something else that happened to Pat but — I mean, we can’t prove it. Every bit of evidence has been destroyed. … Rumsfeld, Abizaid, Myers and Brown collectively said, ‘I don’t know, I don’t recall, I don’t remember’ about 82 times and no one on that panel pressed them. No one did their research. Neither faction of that committee.” — Pat Tillman’s mother Mary on Larry King Live

On HBO's Inside the NFL, Peter King interviewed Denver QB Jake Plummer about the horrific treatment the Tillman family have received over Pat's death. There have been four investigations into what really happened to him and now a fifth one is getting close to being completed. How reprehensible has this been for the Tillman family? Pat is killed and they were repeatedly lied to. The family is not speaking out, but Plummer is. Good for him. Somebody has to.

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. Bruce Braley questions whether edits were made to original reports about the incident that resulted in Tillman's death.
