Hearing on Tillman, Lynch Incidents: A Callous Reaction

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. Chairman Henry Waxman questions Specialist Patrick Tillman's mother Mary Tillman about the callous response she received from some in response to her persistence in getting the truth about her son's death.

Rightousness is the common thread of all religons and beyond that, all decent people - religous or not. Pat Tillman was a rightous man and an American hero. Those who used his death for political gain, or worse, those who might have plotted his death to silence what he had discovered in Afghanistan are enemies of the USA.

There is no separation. Bushs agenda was to force Christianity on everyone. He and the fundamentalists were conspiring to do this from the beginning. Christianity is totally evil.

@Superorchestra I'm Catholic and my impression of Tillman is that he was a better Christian than most Christians I know. I often say to myself, I'd rather hear these so called Christians swearing a la Tillman than to have be exposed to all their backstabbing, envy driven, shaming, secretive immoral behavior. To have lived an honest, decent life and have the courage and integrity that Pat Tillman had stands in contrast to the phony, lying "Christians" using Muslims to prosecute this War.

The entire story of Lynch was a complete fable scripted work of fiction swallowed up& regurgitated to the American people by corporate media to generate pro-war fervor &patriotism, almost identical to what we’re seeing w/the Bin Laden sideshow. Official story of the death of Pat Tillman in 4/04 also a complete fairytale carefully packaged by the mass media to elicit a resurgence of support for the wars in Iraq Afghanistan at a time when public sentiment had begun to turn against the occupations.
