Default Probe into Pat Tillman Death????

Army to Launch Probe Into Tillman Death AP - 13 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Army said Saturday it will launch a criminal investigation into the April 2004 death of Pat Tillman, the former professional football player who was shot to death by fellow soldiers in what previous Army reviews had concluded was an accidental shooting by members of his own unit. Col. Joseph Curtin, an Army spokesman, said the Defense Department office of inspector general had reviewed the matter at the Army's request and concluded that a criminal probe was warranted.

I agree with NT. What is the purpose of this? This sounds like something that could backfire and end up with ALOT of greedy lawyers getting in on the scene and courting family members of those accidentally killed/wounded by FF. As I understand it the IG wasn't happy with the procedures followed in the case of Pat so for some reason he has decided to start with this crap. From that point of view it sounds too me like someone in the Pentagon missed a promotion or is unhappy with their current position so they are gonna start rocking the boat without concern for what it is gonna do too our boys over there serving and their families here at home.

Pure case of some govt. employee having nothing better to do than cause a stink!!!

What is this, the third investigation into Tillman's death? The army has already come to a conclusion and disciplined members of Tillman's platoon.

Listening to Drudge and a few others on the radio last night I heard that the family has led the effort to open a criminal investigation. I don't have all of the facts, but this quote from the above article leads me to believe that it might be true.

Quote:
"We are obligated to answer the family's questions, as we are with all grieving families," Curtin said.

The only good that could come of this is the truth, and sadly sometimes the truth hurts.

I have mixed thoughts about this. On one hand, a family ought to be able to know the truth. On the other hand, how many investigations does the army really need to do and to what avail?

Nothing will bring him back. This probe could do more harm than good. The family should know but the whole world does not need the info.
