White House Rebuffs Congress on Tillman Papers
by Mike the Usurper at 12:54 pm EDT, Jul 14, 2007 |
The White House has refused to give Congress documents about the death of former NFL player Pat Tillman, with White House counsel Fred Fielding saying that certain papers relating to discussion of the friendly-fire shooting "implicate Executive Branch confidentiality interests."
They're claiming executive privilege on the investigation of the death of Tillman. About the only way that can even be conceivable is if they were deliberately covering up the truth for political gain, because if it's just a report, then that originates elsewhere and those are not covered at all. Implication? The White House deliberately covered up the Tillman mess, turning him into a national hero, so they could score more points, and are now acting to cover that up. |

You probably already know about these, but here's some investigative journalism about Tillman: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/index.shtml#tillman |
