COVER-UP OF PAT TILLMAN DEATH KEEPS GETTING UGLIER: The ASSOCIATED PRESS reported the ugly news late last week that “U.S. Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman’s forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former professional football player’s death amounted to a crime.”

In other words, some in the U.S. Army think Pat Tillman may have been murdered by American Troops, who allegedly shot him three times in the head from a mere ten yards away.

Keith Olbermann reported on the story on MSNBC, and emphasized Tillman’s apparent left-leaning political perspective - he had planned to meet with anti-war activist Noam Chomsky before his death - and his disagreement with the Iraq war (Tillman enlisted to go to Afghanistan after 9/11).

Tillman’s mother Mary, who has also long maintained that her son was deliberately murdered, “said she is still looking for answers.”

We’ll get our answers just as soon as the world’s most famous ex-MLB owner can complete a sentence without embarrassing himself.
