[Pat Tillman was no red-necked,
unthinking friend of the Neocons. Pat Tillman was a football star and a
scholar. He was chillingly handsome; his oversized square jaw and
Herculean physique made him look like GI Joe come to life. He had been
openly criticizing the Bush Administration�s war on terror while
serving as an active-duty US Army Ranger in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
He knew the war was wrong, but continued to do his duty faithfully and
energetically. He complained to Navy SEALs, fellow rangers, Special
Forces; anyone who would listen. He was keeping a diary and he was
looking forward to the day when he might return home to retake his
position as a defensive safety for the Phoenix Cardinals.

Can you imagine what the
fallout would have been if, on every sports show in the country,
followed by every mainstream media outlet, the archetypal American hero
had pulled the propaganda carpet fully and completely out from under
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld?

Pat Tillman�s diary never came home either.

Pat Tillman was killed by
friendly fire in what the best-case indicates was a surreal blend of
bad judgment, homicidal madness, panic, grotesque mismanagement, lies,
and a cover up that is proving to have so many layers that FTW has decided to make this case a major, long-term investigative project.
In part that is because we have already uncovered crimes, falsification
of records, lies and�as Stan Goff will show you�disingenuousness of
cosmic proportions. �Don�t piss on my leg and tell me it�s raining,�
Stan will tell you is an old saying. It seems like everyone�s been
pissed on here�especially the American people.

Just before FTW published Part I of this series I drove to Mary Tillman�s residence in
Northern California and spent an entire night hand-copying more than
2,000 pages of the Army�s investigation into Tillman�s death. All I
will say is that Mary Tillman is a tough, bright, and unspeakably
decent human being who does not want to be in the spotlight. She wants
justice.

Except perhaps for the Kean
Commission report on 9-11, in my 30 years of studying and writing
criminal investigative reports, government inquiries, and court records
I have never seen a more cooked and doctored piece of work than the US
Army�s investigation into Tillman�s death.

There are crimes here. We will
show you those crimes. Some of those crimes, we believe, lead directly
to an already beleaguered Donald Rumsfeld. As just one example,
Tillman�s posthumous Silver Star award was in the works even before the
After-Action Report had been written. This is a complete violation of
Army procedure. Who issued the orders to do that?

Many will suspect and want to
know if Pat Tillman was deliberately murdered to prevent his coming
home to guest spots on ESPN, CNN, and all the networks. There is no
doubt that he intended to speak out. FTW can�t answer that
definitively yet because Stan Goff and I have not finished going
through the records. I can tell you that what we have found is enough
to thoroughly discredit the Department of Defense and show multiple
violations (some criminal) on the part of many officers and their
civilian leadership.

We will take as long as we need
to with this one. It may run into ten or more parts. It may take
months. We will publish as we get each part completed.

And I can tell you that when
Donald Rumsfeld decided to piss on Mary Tillman�s leg, on retired US
Army Special Forces Master Sergeant Stan Goff�s leg, and on former LAPD
detective Mike Ruppert�s leg, he pissed in the wrong place. We are
representatives of and for the American people.

Pat Tillman was an honorable,
brave, intelligent and strong-willed American. He did not support
tyranny and he recognized it and name-called it when he saw it. His
ultimate mistake was simply believing -- for a fateful moment -- that
calling out to identify himself would save him just before three
American bullets blew his head off.

 ï¿½I�m Pat fucking Tillman!� he screamed. These were his last words. � MCR
