When Specialist Tillman's mother, Mary, was asked what gaps there were
in the public record, she pointed to the large ring binder sitting on
the table in front of her.
"See this binder?" she said to Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA).
For starters, she suggested that the Army's awarding of a Silver Star
to her son needed to be investigated, as it 'created a paper trail.'
She also challenged the Army Inspector General's report that a group
of generals were the sole cause of the fabrications of the
circumstances of Pat Tillman's death.
"That's a smokescreen, these officers are scapegoats," Mary Tillman
said angrily, while answering a question asked by Rep. Christopher
Shays (R-CT).

Tillman's brother: Reports of 'heroic death' were 'deliberate and
calculated lies'
Michael Roston
In a major hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform, the brother of deceased Army Specialist Pat Tillman, who
appears to have been a victim of friendly fire, said that reports of
his brother's 'heroic death' were "deliberate and calculated lies."
"These were intentional falsehoods that meet the legal definition for
fraud," said Kevin Tillman, who served alongside his brother in the
Army Rangers in Afghanistan.
Tillman testified alongside his mother, Mary, at a hearing on
"Misleading Information from the Battlefield."
Pat Tillman had been a safety for the Arizona Cardinals who turned
down a contract extension in 2002 to enlist in the US Army Rangers.
