Why was Pat Tillman Murdered?
On one hand -the American Right wing is always joking about murdering people that disagree with them. (
Examples here.) Presently we have a right wing government that has no respect for the rule of law. (Examples too numerous to cite) In the past -the American right wing has used the Presidential office to spy on their political opponents (watergate).
On the other hand we have a professional football player who quits a 500K job to serve his country. He stands politically
against the right wing. He seems to be the makings of the next John Kennedy and could be a political liability.
Oh what the heck. He's a liberal. Just shoot him already.

The first Army investigator who looked into the death of former NFL player Pat Tillman in Afghanistan last year found within days that he was killed by his fellow Rangers in an act of "gross negligence," but Army officials decided not to inform Tillman's family or the public until weeks after a nationally televised memorial service.
A new Army report on the death shows that top Army officials, including the theater commander, Gen. John P. Abizaid, were told that Tillman's death was fratricide days before the service
