How deep does the deception go?: Examining the death of Pat Tillman

New revelations from Army medical examiners surfaced this past week, detailing another inconsistency in the death of Pat Tillman. According to the report, Army medical examiners tried unsuccessfully to get the Army to open an investigation into Tillman's death after ruling it appeared Tillman had been shot by an M-16 from a distance of merely ten yards, with no evidence of enemy fire or damage in the area. The evidence, they said, did not match the scene of the crime, with murder being the implication from the examiners. The story is linked here below.

What are we, the American people, to take from this information? It is very difficult to believe this was accidental friendly fire at this point, especially with the deception this war has been built upon. It's not like Tillman was hit with one bullet, but three, from a short distance of ten yards. That is too close of a distance to not know your target. Only the blind could make such a mistake, and it's a revelation we all should take seriously. The AP report stops just short of charging murder, but considering the Army's inexistent response, and uncovered congratulatory e-mails from army attorneys for keeping investigators at bay as revealed in the report, such an act wouldn't be the worst deception from our government under Bush. And all of this is on top of the cover up that initially followed Tillman's death. Don't forget, Tillman served as a huge marketing machine for this war, with the Army using his image as a professional athlete and selfless patriot to build up enlistment. Could all of this, Tillman's death and subsequent propagandized cover-up, have been part of a bigger deceit, preplanned and intended? Knocking off a professional athlete to help stir resentment for the enemy. It's not out of the realm of what Bush is capable of, not with his lying about weapons of mass destruction, and the intentionally deceptive claims of a connection between Sadaam and Bin Laden which every unbiased individual knew didn't exist. How could the Army not open an investigation into this? This entire war has been one big deceit and the public should be asking such questions. Everything about Tillman's death has been handled wrong, and now even that is in question.
