What the hell is my country doing? He was shot execution style and it was covered up. Even his clothes and diary were destroyed. Is the government in the middle of a coverup?

Give a source? How about the nightly news on every channel except Fox.

He was against the war in Iraq, and he was killed by 3 bullets at close range though I did not see what type! If he was going to ba assisinated, they would not use a US weapon!
The president, did not tell the Tillman family for 5 weeks after they knew it was fraticide, leading them to believe he was killed in action!
Here we go again! The Bush white house is involved in this as well or they would not be witholding information, claiming Executive privelege! Is that the only 2 words Bush knows?
"• Tillman kept an extensive journal since he was 16 and guarded it with his life. Two days after his death, the journal, along with almost all of his other personal affects, disappeared.
• The fiasco of the cover-up around his killing continues to go higher and higher up the ladder ... our president himself has blocked the release of information around the killing, claiming executive privilege.
All this evidence points to the unmistakable conclusion that Tillman was assassinated. If he had come out strongly against the war and Bush policy just a couple of months before the election, it would have been more than enough to tip it over to Kerry. Before this week, I would have disregarded this scenario as pathological ranting. But this week's AP story makes it incontrovertible that something really bad went down. The army's own doctors thought so and sought a criminal investigation. Three bullets, in a tight circle, from ten yards away will do that. Of course, they were turned down.
It's time to really ask who ordered the assassination of Pat Tillman."

Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman's forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player's death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.
The doctors — whose names were blacked out — said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.
Ultimately, the Pentagon did conduct a criminal investigation, and asked Tillman's comrades whether he was disliked by his men and whether they had any reason to believe he was deliberately killed. The Pentagon eventually ruled that Tillman's death at the hands of his comrades was a friendly-fire accident.
The medical examiners' suspicions were outlined in 2,300 pages of testimony released to the AP this week by the Defense Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. – The Associated Press

The man joined of his own accord - for the right reasons (which was NOT because he was against the war how stupid is that argument? I'm against it so I'll volunteer?!!!). Unfortunatly he was killed in the line of duty - happens to others as well. Friendly Fire happens too - if he wasn't a celebrity there never would have been this type of hue and cry raised.
Let the man rest in peace and move on people.

You sound like another angry, home grown terrorist with a couple of screws loose. I agree, state your source or give it up already.
Wow! People on here that know the opinions on the war of a dead man! I am impressed?? Please spare me. He gave up a million $$ NFL salary to join his family to fight a war because he was against it?? You libs are really reaching on this "theory"!!

The truth would discredit a lot of people and they have already fund to who to blame.
I blame this on US Presidents Cheney and Rove.
