Countdown explores some very interesting points about the Pat Tillman incident.

You know I may not have enough tinfoil in my house for this post.

It is clear that our government completely fabricated how Pat Tillman died. They went to extraordinary lengths to make sure that we bought into a fantasy that was in no way related to the actual facts. It once again makes it impossible to believe our government about ANYTHING!

But the next question it raises is why? I would think that the military benefited greatly from having Pat Tillman leave his pro football career and join the battle against al-Qaeda. That is the best propaganda that money can buy. So having him die in an unheroic fashion would have cost the military greatly. So it makes sense, if you have no morality whatsoever, to make up a story that keeps Tillman as a useful recruiting tool.

But then the next question is if Pat Tillman would not stick to the script, if he called the Iraq war a mistake, and wanted to talk to noted anti war activist Noam Chomsky, would our country actually have him killed? I don't know. But do I think it is possible? Sadly I have to answer that it would follow the pattern that we have seen with this administration. No life is a important as the Bush administrations agenda.
