Tillman family: General lied

Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- The parents of slain NFL star Pat Tillman say senators should scrutinize a general's role in mischaracterizing their son's death before putting him in charge of military operations in Afghanistan.

In an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, Pat Tillman Sr. accused Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal of helping falsify the homicide investigation.

Separately, Mary Tillman called it "imperative" that McChrystal's record be carefully considered before he is confirmed.

Interesting quote from that article


What particularly rankles about Obama's choice of McChrystal, whose background is in the nefarious and shadowy world of "black ops", is that his actions in the Tillman cover-up feel emblematic instead of exceptional.
