Rumsfeld takes no responsibility in Tillman cover up

[YaHey]

I don’t know what to think of the whole fiasco. A lot of emotion, but I find it hard to believe that Rumsfeld actually covered up the friendly fire death of Tillman.

Tillman’s mother, Mary Tillman, his brother Kevin and other family members watched silently from the back row of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing room. They’ve long maintained that Rumsfeld and others must have known more, sooner than they’ve acknowledged, and have alleged a cover-up leading to the White House.

Fratricide incidents are always highly embarrassing to the armed forces, and the fact that it was Pat Tilman made it that much worse. I seriously doubt that there was an organized conspiracy to cover up the facts of the case…probably some over zealous officers who wanted to make his death look more heroic and less embarrassing to the Army.
