A new Pentagon report found that nine officers, including a three-star general, mishandled the investigation into the "friendly fire" death in Afghanistan of Pat Tillman, the pro-football player turned Army Ranger, a senior defense official said Friday night.
The report will not mete out specific punishments to the officers, who include four generals in all. But the Army will begin its own review of what action should be taken.
"We are going to move quickly," an Army official said. "We found out mistakes were made. We've already made fixes. We are going to make more."
Is there anyone who is associated with this lying, corrupt administration who can say anything other than "mistakes were made"? Is the Pentagon getting their PR flack assist from Abu Gonzales?
The family of Pat Tillman has to finally feel vindicated and more than a little used by the 1600 Crew in their cynical exploitation of the tragic death of their son and brother to further the propaganda efforts of the war effort. I hope they can have some small solice now in knowing that the Army finally owned up to lying.
Those fuckers stand there and say it's all about "Duty, Honor, Country". Where were those traits when they were talking to the Tillman's after his death?
