Bush White House stonewalls on Pat Tillman documents

[SpiralHawk]

The republicon chickenhawks in the White House are stalling and stonewalling so American citizens will not learn the truth about one of their sons who died in the phony oil-profits crusade.

Shame on the republicon chickenhawks, who prove again that they hate and disrepect our honorable troops and veterans, and their families.

White House "Stonewalling" on Pat Tillman Documents

The White House has refused to turn over documents in connection with the US House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee's investigation into the death of Corporal Pat Tillman, citing executive privilege. However, an examination of the documents released by the Department of Defense (DOD) shows the White House selectively withheld documents which did not fall within their executive privilege claim, and the White House may have ignored a warning from a top military official in order to propagate the fictional story of Tillman's demise.

The Oversight and Government Reform Committee has been examining the cover-up of the death of Corporal Pat Tillman, the former Arizona Cardinal football star. On April 22, 2004 while on patrol in Afghanistan, Tillman was shot in the head by an American soldier. Public statements by the military claimed Tillman was killed by Taliban fighters in combat. This patently false explanation was not corrected for over a month and was only revealed as false after the official story began to collapse. According to investigations conducted on behalf of members of the Tillman family, military officials tried to cover up the fratricide by falsifying evidence, altering statements made by soldiers who witnessed the event and by posthumously awarding Tillman the Silver Star for valor.

1. The only possible reason for this stonewalling is the timeline

I think it should be absolutely clear that what will be revealed when the documents are produced is that Bush had been informed well before his speech that the death came from friendly fire. Truth means nothing to the bastard.

2. Yes, it's clear that Bush lied to us about Pat Tillman for propganda

Bush lied to Tillman's family, too. Chickenhawk republicon deserter lies to patriotic family and citizens. As usual.
