Looks like Pat may have been murdered. Why though? Was it for what was in his journal that they burned, along with his uniform? Was it for propaganda purposes back home?

1. Guess they didn't want a

respected celebrity talking.

Who could have done such a thing though? Just what kind of person would be capable of actually shooting another American soldier in the head orders or not.

2. same kind that rapes, tortures, and murders iraqi civilian men, women and children nt

3. Who are you talking about with this "they."

He was with his unit, wasn't he? Who else was there?

4. Executive Priveledge

Why would the Whitehouse claim it for the Tillman case?

5. It's got me scratchin my head. The lack of interest in this story going MSM is also a mystery

[Kagemusha]

6. Because if they wanted to present a murder as a heroic KIA

they should be free to make such decisions for the greater good of America without second guessing by Monday morning commander-in-chiefs.

And please, I do NOT agree with this, but that is the basis I find most rational for the WH stance.

7. "Why was Pat Tillman murdered? Smirk," - Commander AWOL

"And why did I and my clownish republicon cronies cover up the truth, use his death for propaganda purposes for our oil-profits Crusade, and then lie about it to his family and all of America? Smirk, smirk, smirk, you will never ever ever find out. Smirk, smirk, smirk."

8. It's not impossible for a 3-round burst to be in a 2 inch shotgroup

at distance.

If Tillman was murdered, my guess would be a member of his unit who had a beef with him. Maybe he was the darling of the commanders and another troop(s) didn't appreciate the special way he was treated.

9. That's the obvious conclusion

if you're not a person looking for a conspiracy under every rock and finding them where they don't exist.

I know the Bush administration is corrupt but that doesn't mean that every single incident is an example of their corruption.

10. OK so my SO is an avid paper shooter and very experienced with

this round and he concluded that for some one to get 3 shots in a 2 inch group from auto fire with ball round they "had to catch a rest" meaning they were resting on something to give them a little stability and was more than like well planned.
