Interview with brother Richard Tillman:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/punctu...rd-tillman
It will probably be used to discredit and marginalize Richard Tillman and the truth about the murder of his brother, Pat.
In the interview, Richard Tillman lays out much of the evidence - the patrol plans which made Pat Tillman and colleagues highly vulnerable to ambush; how the deliberately small number of soldiers in the patrols made it even harder to defend against any ambush; a comprehensive refutation of the notion of fog of war leading to accidental friendly fire; the close range nature of the shots; the cover-up afterwards, which included burning Pat Tillman's diary, ordering soldiers to lie, sanctioned by Stanley McChrystal (in a clear echo of Colin Powell's coverup of My Lai).
Richard Tillman then relentlessly avoids the obvious conclusion, despite a passing - and probably dismissive - reference to notions of a "CIA operative in a bush".
