Officers Blamed for Tillman Case Errors

Nine officers, including up to four generals, should be held accountable for missteps in the aftermath of the friendly fire death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, a Pentagon investigation will recommend.

Senior defense officials said Friday the Defense Department inspector general will cite a range of errors and inappropriate conduct as the military probed the former football star's death on the battlefront in 2004, said one defense official.

The official, who like the others requested anonymity because the Army has not publicly released the information, said it appears senior military leaders may not have had all the facts or worked hard enough to get the facts of what happened on April 22, 2004, when Tillman was killed by members of his own platoon.

Dozens of soldiers - those immediately around Tillman at the scene of the shooting, his immediate superiors and high-ranking officers at a command post nearby - knew within minutes or hours that his death was fratricide.

Even so, the Army persisted in telling Tillman's family he was killed in a conventional ambush, including at his nationally televised memorial service 11 days later. It was five weeks before his family was told the truth, a delay the Army has blamed on procedural mistakes.

The latest investigation has focused on how high up the chain of command it was known that Tillman's death was caused by his own comrades. Officers from the rank of colonel and up will be blamed in the report, according to one officer who has been informed of the findings.

According to the officials, the report will not make charges or suggest punishments, but it will recommend the Army look at holding the nine officers accountable.

One defense official said it appears the inspector general will not conclude there was an orchestrated cover-up in the investigation.

Oh no?? Why NOT??
Tillman's father, Pat, said Friday he had no intention of commenting on the inspector general's report until he had heard an Army briefing on Monday. That day, the Army plans to release the report and a second related to the killing.

The other report is by the Army Criminal Investigation Command, which will focus on whether a crime, such as negligent homicide, was committed when Tillman's own men shot him. One defense official said it appears the investigation did not find any criminal intent in the shooting.

Tillman's case drew worldwide attention in part because he had turned down a multimillion-dollar contract to play defensive back for the Arizona Cardinals in order to join the Army Rangers after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Tillman's death is not even close to being the only one which involves cover ups and unexplained actions. This girl was beaten before she "died of self-inflicted, noncombat injuries" and initially added it was not a suicide -- in other words, an accidental death caused by LaVena herself.

I am struggling with leaving out names because I feel it is disrespectful to do so --but my hope is that you will take yourself to these places and read the compelling stories of these young, beautiful men and women who are being sacrificed far from home. MYSTERIOUSLY. Why are we allowing this?

THIRTY Horses Dying of "Thirst" says the Army but soldier has unending health problems for YEARS. Or the American contractor in Iraq, Kirk von Ackermann, who pointed out kickback schemes and disappeared after he had a flat tire.
This one hit home as the frequent disabling of my car is much more than just annoyance and theft. It's intimidation of the highest order to threaten a small girl or anyone else with being stuck somewhere alone and without transport. Then my friends at Verizon cut my cell-phone as they've done in the past .... (god) ... la di da ... And, my car tire was flattened yesterday. AGAIN. For those keeping track, that's once a week for three weeks. So, do I find it even a tiny stretch that these guys are being murdered? Nope. I promote it. I believe it to be a fact and I wonder that the publication of their deaths in the mainstream media makes it so obvious and I can't be the only one who sees it. Don't give in to fear or you will be on the list they know they can cow. Seriously.
There are several local Bay Area boys who sound like victims of murder rather than of normal combat and then I realized the dual purpose of getting someone to unfamiliar territory. No more coming back where they would be a danger to those who do wrong.

The report's release comes with the Bush administration under fire from the public and Congress for the war in Iraq. Though the Afghanistan conflict has not drawn nearly so much criticism, the report could add to the drumbeat of negative stories the administration has had to endure over the treatment of wounded soldiers and the long deployments of U.S. troops.

To date, the Army has punished seven people for the Tillman killing, but no one was court-martialed. Four soldiers received relatively minor punishments under military law, ranging from written reprimands to expulsion from the Rangers. One had his pay reduced and was effectively forced out of the Army.

The Army, which requested the inspector general review last year, said in a statement released Friday that it "plans to take appropriate actions after receiving the inspector general's report."

The officials declined to name any of the officers the report will implicate. The commander of Tillman's 75th Ranger Regiment was Col. James C. Nixon. Last year he was named director of operations at the Center for Special Operations at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla.

Nixon knew within about two days that Tillman's death was fratricide, another officer involved in the investigations told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Previous investigations of the case have focused on the facts of the incident and sought to answer questions of whether it was a fratricide.

The report's findings were first reported on Friday by CBS News.

Tillman died in Afghanistan's Paktia province, along the Pakistan border, after his platoon was ordered to split into two groups and one of the units began firing. Tillman and an Afghan with him were killed. A specialist at the time of his death, he was posthumously promoted to corporal.

(this is where it gets really suspicious because of the way the motor units broke down and no more were sent and/or no parts were available. It was like they forced them to spend the night in this far flung, dangerous area and then separated the unit into two units and BOOM, all the sudden one unit forgot the other unit was friendly? hmmmmm ) Purposeful or not this smells like murder, especially given all the lies) Why LIE if you have nothing to hide? Like all truth it has the ring of truth when the guys they tried to quash spoke up. It's notable that Pat Tillman was an avid reader of Chomsky and also an outspoken critic of Bush. His brother is STILL an outspoken critic of this regime in our White House.What I'm saying is that the more you read about Pat's death the more you are convinced that a great deal of 'oddness' or 'collusion' went on. Just about all those present are LIARS and that was proven. I guess they figure if they hold a bunch of stripes accountable we'll shut up. Lateral transfers and on with the program like every other government agency. And we pay them to do this. And, we have the idea that they are killing for Jesus (only some of them, I'm perfectly aware there are still many decent service men and women ...)

For the record Pat Tillman's family at least his mother anf father, is NOT anti-war and I support them. I support their quest for the truth in the mysterious death of their son. If they think they will get it via cooperating with John McCain and from the U.S. Govt, I believe they are sadly mistaken. I bet they know that. And NOTHING brings their boy back.

Since the incident, the Army has moved to improve the notification procedures and now requires an officer to review initial casualty information and verify that the families have been told the best, accurate information.

Turned him into THIS man ...





And then killed him

At the VERY LEAST .. they covered it up and by way of an apology a few guys get to rearrange the crap on the arms of their uniforms until they get promoted again ....

Frankly, it's sickening. My uncle served fairly high up in the Army. My Father in Law was one step from being a General .... (he also played football before the Air Force) ....

There's so much dirt involved that a good man can't even talk about it and that's why they are getting away with it. The minute someone talks they find a way to bribe them or shut them up and the show goes on.
