White House Rebuffs Congress on Tillman Papers

By Josh White

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The White House has refused to give Congress documents about the death of former NFL player Pat Tillman, with White House counsel Fred Fielding saying that certain papers relating to discussion of the friendly-fire shooting "implicate Executive Branch confidentiality interests."

Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Tom Davis R-Va., the leading members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, objected to the refusal Friday in letters to the White House and the Defense Department.

White House and Pentagon officials have turned over about 10,000 pages of material, but Waxman and Davis said those papers lack critical documents that would show communications between senior administration officials and top military officers shortly after Tillman was killed in Afghanistan in 2004.

Tillman's celebrity, as one who gave up a professional football contract to join the Army after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, made his death major news. The military at first concocted a heroic story about how Tillman, a specialist posthumously promoted to corporal, had been killed in a fierce firefight with the enemy, despite obvious evidence that he had been shot by his own men at close range. More than a month later, a military investigation reported publicly that the death was not linked to enemy fire.

"The main focus of the committee's investigation is to examine what the White House and the leadership of the Department of Defense knew about Corporal Tillman's death and when they knew it," Waxman and Davis wrote in a letter to Fielding. "Unfortunately, the document production from the White House sheds virtually no light on these matters."

After an oversight hearing in April — during which Tillman's family members testified — the committee sought the documents to learn about the alleged coverup and high-level discussions about how to spin the case. Waxman and Davis plan another hearing on Aug. 1.

No kidding.

Nixon and the pinhead had/have one thing in common: the belief in an imperial presidency.

The only difference is that eventually even the right wingers wised up about
Nixon and abandoned him. I don't think there is any hope for the current crop.

On the whole I think Bush has been like a perfect storm, it is Bush plus historical events that will end up damaging this country far beyond what any previous president has managed. It will be years before all the damage is accessed.
