why would the powerful take such a risk to silence one tiny voice when government itself is filled with so many who oppose the war. this grasping at straws to gather ammunition against the administration is a fool's errand and diminishes the credibility of those more serious efforts to stem the rising tide of totalitarianism. one idiot standing in the middle of the town square screaming "the sky is falling" serves only to discredit those who claim that what is falling on us is dangerous and something must be done to keep us from being engulfed in the gathering shit.

it's entirely possible that this death from friendly fire was not accidental and equally possible that there was some cover-up to save the military from the ensuing embarrassment, but to believe that an order came down from the highest levels of command to silence pat tillman strains the limits of probability and common sense.
Yup, we agree. The guy was a bully and someone had enough and just said fuck you and shot him in the head. then to save embarassment, the seargeant covered it up and the leutenant and the major just went along, once past the field report, it was considered the facts. The M-16 set on a 3 tap setting could produce 3 holes in the forehead from 10 yards as there is hardly any recoil before they are out of the barrel. Or one at 10 yards and then the other two after he was down. It would take a lot of hate to stand over a downed guy and put two holes in his forehead.
