In perhaps some of the most shoking testimony ever to connect the military to misconduct unbecoming an American army, House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform testimony yesterday detailed the level of corruption in today's military. Has the Bush administration extended their habitual dishonesty to the nation's defence forces? - The Angryindian

WASHINGTON —
An Army Ranger who was with Pat Tillman when
the former football star was cut down by friendly fire in
Afghanistan said Tuesday a commanding officer had ordered him to
keep quiet about what happened.



The military at first portrayed Tillman's death as the result of
heroic combat with the enemy. Army Spc. Bryan O'Neal told a
congressional hearing that when he got the chance to talk to
Tillman's brother, who had been in a nearby convoy on the fateful
day, "I was ordered not to tell him what happened."



"You were ordered not to tell him?" repeated Rep. Henry
Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform.



"Roger that, sir," replied O'Neal, dressed in his Army
uniform.
