Why executive privilege on Tillman's death?

[Fresh_Start]

The fact that it was friendly fire is already known.
The fact that there was a coverup is already known.
The fact that they destroyed evidence is already known.

So about the only thing worse thing to find is that there was a conspiracy to kill him because he was speaking out against the war.

2. I wondered about that to. There's just doesn't seem to be any other reason to call exec priv on it.

3. as we've learned from the GOP....it doesn't have to be true

it just has to be repeated frequently enough for ppl to start to buy it.

I say, lets spread the rumor and see what happens.

4. I have spent a little time wondering about THIS:

"......a conspiracy to kill him because he was speaking out against the war......"

I put nothing past these criminals anymore. NOTHING.

6. nothing to hide, why duck and cover???

don't know what, but they are afraid of something being found out.

9. Maybe he was worth more to them as a dead hero

than a live soldier for the propaganda angle.

12. wish i could say

"there is no way they could stoop that low" and really mean it.

I have big problems around 'trust' to begin with.

There is little that would surprise me about this government.

"oh,what a world, what a world".

8. Bush101: "Executive privilege" & "classified information" are used simply to hide the truth.

Impeachment is the only remedy.

11. BushCo had a hand in covering it up initially

That would be standard protocol for them.
