Pat Tillman's Mom: Army Still Lying

Mary Tillman, the mother of Pat Tillman, appeared on 60 Minutes Sunday night and says she still can't get the truth about her son's death from the U.S. Army. Here's a brief clip:

More from the 60 Minutes web site:
At that time, Tillman's family was led to believe that he was killed by the enemy, which was reinforced when the Army awarded him a Silver Star for his "gallantry in action against an armed enemy." They were told his convoy had been ambushed and he had charged up a hill, forcing the enemy to withdraw and saving the lives of his fellow Rangers.
That story was a complete fabrication, but the whole story is still, according to Mary Tillman, a mystery.

Pat Tillman was an American hero, and it's baffling that our nation's military still won't give his mother a straight answer about exactly what happened when he was killed. It's been more than four years since Pat Tillman died, and it's time for Mary Tillman to hear the truth.
