Hearing on Tillman, Lynch Incidents: Cummings' Questions

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform holds a hearing entitled "Misleading Information from the Battlefield." The hearing focuses on the death of Army Ranger Specialist Patrick Tillman in Afghanistan and the capture and rescue of Army Private Jessica Lynch in Iraq. The Committee examines why inaccurate accounts of these two incidents were disseminated, the sources and motivations for the accounts, and whether the appropriate Administration officials have been held accountable. Rep. Elijah Cummings questions Specialist Patrick Tillman's brother Kevin Tillman about communications inside the White House related to his brother.

Bad Audio.

I just heard that President Bush has envoked EXECUTIVE PRIVLEGE so that he doesn't have to discuss the death of Pat Tillman. What a slap in the face.

How can you take IMPEACHMENT OFF THE TABLE when your executive branch acts in this fashion.

It's a slap in the face to any American who has ever put his life on the line for this country.

this is a nightmare for these families - it's clear the government doesn't care about them or the troops

[PierreElliottTrudeau]

Support the Troops.. expose the truth (factual truth). And f*ck Bush or any other world power who defy and spit on their countries constitution!

[butai]

i feel sorry for you - what if this was your family that was used for propaganda? would you be happy? I doubt it even for a blinded republican loyalist like you young man. If you love the war so much. Join the army and stop complaining!

Demogogues??? About whom are you speaking? Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Bolton and most of this administration fits that definition. These people are trying to find the truth and trying to make the government more truthful. If what is being done must be lied about to make it work, it must be the wrong thing to do

[GoneB4Unoit]

The people want impeachment of both Bush and Chaney, and out of this War now. If the Dem's fail to deliver on any of these things you can bet that they'll wish they had the next time we Vote. You people were handed a mandate to do these things first to allow us to believe in our country again, to allow us to believe that no one is above the law. The time has come for you people to stand up or we'll get someone that will.

hmmm, the repubs do not seem to want to know anything about this. Otherwise why are they just now pretending to be concerned. Kinda like how they waited for GW's popularity to tank before they ever said anything bad about him. Repubs are even more evil than I gave them credit for.

Why don't you walk up to Mrs. Tillman and say that?

And just curious, Meatpieandtatters: How old are you?
