I want to ask her what she thinks of a president who, armed with the facts, would lie over Pat’s dead body. I want to know if she believes George W. Bush belongs in prison.

But I also want to ask Mary Tillman about the person her son was, and the person her son was becoming: the Pat Tillman moving against the war in Iraq; the Pat Tillman who was a voracious reader, turning his attention to critics of empire like Noam Chomsky; the Pat Tillman whose journal and personal effects were burned and destroyed immediately following his death.

This is a Pat Tillman who deserves to be heard.

Most excellent clip Pappy!

Yeah, this story breaks my heart and pisses me off at the same time--those poor people to lose a son in this insane war and then have him exploited by such hypocrites in the Gov't and media for propaganda..--How horrible for them. Mrs. Tillman's Story should be front page and a major movie. Maybe it would wake up some people...My heart goes out to her family for their courage in such a crazy, sad time--to be speaking up is awesome!

Exploited like Jessica Lynch. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,956255,00.html

Yes, and she was definitely exploited. Jessica is my husband's cousin Zizzy.
