This is being beaten to death...... We already know who made the mistakes. I personally feel it's time to allow Ranger Tillman to rest.

Congressional Hearings Begin in Pat Tillman Friendly Fire Death
Tuesday, April 24, 2007
WASHINGTON — The federal government invented "sensational details and stories" about the death of Pat Tillman and the rescue of Jessica Lynch, perhaps the most famous victims of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, a House chairman charged Tuesday.
"The government violated its most basic responsibility," said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which opened a hearing into the incidents.
Lynch, walking slowly, took her seat at the witness table along with members of Tillman's family.
Tillman's brother, Kevin, charged the military with "intentional falsehoods that meet the legal definition for fraud" and "deliberate and careful misrepresentations" of the events surrounding Pat Tillman's death.
Lynch, then an Army private, was badly injured when her convoy was ambushed in Iraq in 2003. She was subsequently rescued by American troops from an Iraqi hospital but the tale of her ambush was changed into a story of heroism on her part.
"The bottom line is the American people are capable of determining their own ideals of heroes and they don't need to be told elaborate tales," Lynch told the committee in prepared testimony.
