DID THE PENTAGON ORDER THE DEATH OF A SALESMAN ?

THE MURDER OF NFL STAR , CORPORAL PAT TILLMAN Why would top Pentagon officials order a Mafia -style hit on their Golden Boy ? Reasons and motive abound 1 ) Contrary to the legend spun by Herr Bush’s PR flaks the Arizona Cardinal strong safety eshewed millions to hunt for Osama Bin Laden and his minions. After being tranferred to Iraq for a tour of duty a a disillusioned Tilman told his closest miltary buddy , army specialist Russell Baer , " This war (in Iraq) is so fucking illegal " Baer added " He ( Pat) was totally against Bush" . Others claim Corporal Tillman was urging those around him to vote for Sen. John Kerry in the approaching presidential elections ..... 2 ) The apparent assassination took place a week prior to the forthcoming eruption of the Abu Ghraib
prisoner abuse scandal ... Top Pentagon and White House spin-meisters were fully aware of the emotional pathos that would suround the death and funeral of their Golden Boy , the NFL star turned rambo - avenger of 9/11. His funeral was , in fact , broadcast on national cable TV. These images , they hoped , would cushion the impact coming catastriophe 3 ) Further signs of this depraved attempt at emotional manipulation are found in the efforts of Tillman’s superiors to confect fictitious accounts of military derring - do. The greater the legend , the more intense the loss we are to feel at his passing 4 ) So angry was Tilman at what he witnessed in Iraq a meeting was scheduled to be convened between himself and anti-war activist Noam Chomsky . Was the poster boy about to become the war’s greatest opponent ? What evidence exists to support this hideous notion that Tilman was murdered ? 1 ) Pat’s father discovered that his son’s diary , uniform ,and gear - key evidence in the inquiry seeking to discover the circumstances surrounding the death of his son - was destroyed . 2 ) Tillman repeatedly communicated his assailants that he was a "friendly" . During a lull in the shooting , he exposed himself to fire and had his head blown off . Literally. 3 ) The Pentagon waited five weeks to inform his loved ones that he was killed by fellow Army Rangers. 3 ) The first Pentagon investigator concluded that some of Tillman’s killers were guilty of "gross negligence" while the balance acted out of "criminal intent" . This was a case of "fratricide" . This was bloody murder. 4 ) Not surprisingly , that investigator was ushered out the door , with all due dispatch , replaced by higher ranking commanders . 5 ) The Army Rangers who killed Pat Tillman were permitted to change their testimony. Key testimony regarding the time ,distance and location that the killers engaged their prey was altered to to fit the scenario of a case of friendly fire. All involved in the massacre predictably received little or no punishment 6 ) Then there was the case of Captain William Sanders . Originally Sanders testified that he conveyed to superiors the objections of Tillman’s platoon commander who voiced strenous objection to orders that his unit be split up into halfs and marched into a Taliban stronghold. Blackmailed by perjury charges , Sanders recanted his earlier statements. He didn’t tell his superiors of those objections . .. Right... 7 ) Sanders was futhermore permitted to dispense "punishment" to officers of lower rank . 8 ) Pat’s buddy , Specialist Baer, notes the insanity of ordering troops , now stuck behindenemy lines , to make an evacuation of their post in broad daylight . The cover of approaching night was the logical and safe alternative. Of course such orders make sense if the Pentagon was intent on killing their poster boy "gone bad" Sources 1 ) "The meeting that never was" Common Dreams ,author Dave Zirin.
