The Meeting That Never Was: Pat Tillman and Noam Chomsky
by Dave Zirin


"I don't believe it," seethed Ann Coulter.

Her contempt was directed at a September 25 San Francisco Chronicle story reporting that former NFL star and Army Ranger war hero Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan last year, believed the US war on Iraq was "f***ing illegal" and counted Noam Chomsky among his favorite authors. It must have been quite a moment for Coulter, who upon Tillman's death described him in her inimitably creepy fashion as "an American original--virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be." She tried to discredit the story as San Francisco agitprop, but this approach ran into a slight problem: The article's source was Pat Tillman's mother, Mary.

Mary and the Tillman family are relentlessly pushing for answers to the questions surrounding Pat's death in Afghanistan. They want to know why it took the Pentagon five weeks to tell them he died in a tragic case of friendly fire. They want to know why they were unwitting props at Pat's funeral, weeping while lies were told by eulogizing politicians. Mary is now hoping that a new Pentagon inquiry will bring closure. "There have been so many discrepancies so far that it's hard to know what to believe," she said to the Chronicle. "There are too many murky details."

Dumb bitch.

2. I read this book, "What's My Name Fool" and thought maybe

Pat was "killed" because he would not promote the rah rah boom bash bah of the military. Using him as the poster child for sports/military propaganda. His men must've been "blind" not to see that he was one of theirs. That thought wasn't mentioned in the book but when I read about him that was my immediate thought.

3. Yes, he was. They claim 'friendly fire' but I have my doubts.

9. The article linked at the top...

will answer all your questions, but the short answer is no. They really want to know what happened to their son. The SFG article has loads of info on the case.
