This article, just released this afternoon at cnn.com is an updated piece on their investigation into the death of Pat Tillman. It angers me so much to read this, and think of Bush and his swaggering stutter and laugh he does to warm his friendly audiences.. my head feels like it's going to explode  with anger at him (and Cheney of course).

This updated detailed story is a must read. it does not speak of American military men who were off fighting in Afghanistan, but rather scared shitless inexperienced and undertrained BOYS who were firing weapons aimlessly in utter frantic fear of dying themselves.. completely ignoring training, orders, and yells of "friendlies" from those being fired upon.

It is a gripping detailed read.. It speaks of incompetence and an undertrained American force fighting in the middle of nowhere with no real idea of what the fuck they were doing.. and then the calculated coverup from the bottom ranks up to the top.. not in a joint effort, but in a attempt to save their own cowardly skins (at the bottom) and to save the idea of a nobel war, and a presidency (at the top)

You can add Rumsfeld to your anger list as you read about the broken down humvee that had to be towed and the radio's that didn't work thus giving them no contact with others in their platoon..
