Disgusting isn't it? The lies and deceit of George Bush keep piling up, yet people continue to support him. They tried to claim Tillman was killed in a firefight and died a hero. Only when forced was the truth revealed. There is no level they won't stoop to to make this failure of a war look good.

What most of you are missing is that Bush doesn't have to come out and lie, all he had to do was create a known climate of acceptance of lies for political gain for it to resonate on his leadership.
Thats what hes done, and thats what he continues to do.

I don't think he even took a stand on one side or the other. However there were a lot of others that did to cover their butts.
What about all the other friendly fire deaths? Aren't they entitled to the same treatment even though they weren't famous people?

I don't know who all lied. But that is a truly disgraceful story.
Ummmm, to the guy below me. His MOM wasn't told it was by friendly fired. His family is what brought this story to media.

Just part of a pattern of ignoring the truth and telling the story they want to tell that Bush and company have been following for as long as he's been in the public eye.

I am not aware of Bush making any statements about Tillman, but when has Bush EVER been truthful about anything ?

Yes they lied, just like they lied about Jessica!
They were telling America, and his parents, when they knew early on he died by the hands of his own unit!
And Josh, yours isn't media spin, it's a plain lie!
FAMILY DEMANDS THE TRUTH
New inquiry may expose events that led to Pat Tillman’s death
Robert Collier, Chronicle Staff Writer
Sunday, September 25, 2005
More... The battle between a grieving family and the U.S. military justice system is on display in thousands of pages of documents strewn across Mary Tillman’s dining room table in suburban San Jose.
As she pores through testimony from three previous Army investigations into the killing of her son, former football star Pat Tillman, by his fellow Army Rangers last year in Afghanistan, she hopes that a new inquiry launched in August by the Pentagon’s inspector general finally will answer the family’s questions:
Were witnesses allowed to change their testimony on key details, as alleged by one investigator? Why did internal documents on the case, such as the initial casualty report, include false information? When did top Pentagon officials know that Tillman’s death was caused by friendly fire, and why did they delay for five weeks before informing his family?
“There have been so many discrepancies so far that it’s hard to know what to believe,” Mary Tillman said. “There are too many murky details.” The files the family received from the Army in March are heavily censored, with nearly every page containing blacked-out sections; most names have been deleted. (Names for this story were provided by sources close to the investigation.) At least one volume was withheld altogether from the family, and even an Army press release given to the media has deletions. On her copies, Mary Tillman has added competing marks and scrawls — countless color-coded tabs and angry notes such as “Contradiction!” “Wrong!” and “????”
A Chronicle review of more than 2,000 pages of testimony, as well as interviews with Pat Tillman’s family members and soldiers who served with him, found contradictions, inaccuracies and what appears to be the military’s attempt at self-protection.
For example, the documents contain testimony of the first investigating officer alleging that Army officials allowed witnesses to change key details in their sworn statements so his finding that certain soldiers committed “gross negligence” could be softened.
Interviews also show a side of Pat Tillman not widely known — a fiercely independent thinker who enlisted, fought and died in service to his country yet was critical of President Bush and opposed the war in Iraq, where he served a tour of duty. He was an avid reader whose interests ranged from history books on World War II and Winston Churchill to works of leftist Noam Chomsky, a favorite author.

yes Tillman was put through the propaganda grinder, like that Jessica Lynch girl at the beginning of the war. another western lie to cook up war fever back home. fairly typical of a occupier that is losing to a peoples resistance.

It's starting to look like it wasn't even such "friendly fire".

Here we go again...Bush lied....please.
Yes, its true that Tillman was killed by friendly fire; yes the information was suppressed by the military. But you're making a big leap in saying that Bush lied. I know you liberals are grasping at straws to try to nail Bush on anything (anything at all). Good luck with that (sarcasm, in case you missed it).
