Tillman

The New York Times calls for a Congressional investigation into the malarkey surrounding the death of Pat Tillman.

The circumstances of this byzantine case cry out for Congressional hearings to get an independent evaluation of just who pulled the strings to sugar-coat a terrible battlefield accident as an instance of heroism under hostile fire.

There have been countless tragedies, of course, and perhaps it's unfair that the Tillman case, as awful as it is, has generated so much press.

Still, this sad episode will probably go down in the history books as emblamatic of the absurd propaganda used against the American people during the Bush II regime. And as is always the case, nobody suffers more than the family.
