Maybe Pat Tillman actually was killed by enemy fire.

Except maybe the enemies were other US soldiers.

It makes sense, doesn't it? Why else would the Administration go to such lengths to cover it up? The speculation previously was that it was because a Pat Tillman, NFL star, dying with valor in the Great Cause, was a valuable propaganda object, but this makes just as much sense-- really more sense.

_ In his last words moments before he was killed, Tillman snapped at a panicky comrade under fire to shut up and stop "sniveling."

_ Army attorneys sent each other congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in administrative, or non-criminal, punishments.

_ The three-star general who kept the truth about Tillman's death from his family and the public told investigators some 70 times that he had a bad memory and couldn't recall details of his actions.

_ No evidence at all of enemy fire was found at the scene - no one was hit by enemy fire, nor was any government equipment struck.

C & L and FDL have more commentary. I wish I was more shocked by this.
