[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1319728, member: 17969"] You want to have endless hearings about a coverup about a death of an american? Then demand someone be held responsible for tillmans death... Read this crap from BUSH... "" Bush asked for updates about Tuesday's hearing by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which was held to learn whether, and when, top Defense officials and the White House knew that Tillman's death resulted from friendly fire. "It's not clear -- people don't remember -- if he (Bush) heard it from media reports, or if he heard it from the Pentagon, but it was sometime after the funeral," Perino said. In questioning what the White House knew about Tillman, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., cited a memo written by a top general seven days after Tillman's death, warning that it was "highly possible" the Army Ranger was killed by friendly fire and making clear that his warning should be conveyed to the president. But Bush made no reference to the way Tillman died in a speech delivered two days after the memo was written in late April 2004. The White House said there is no indication that Bush received the warning, which was conveyed from then-Maj. Gen. Stanley McChrystal to Gen. John Abizaid, head of Central Command. "There is no record of Gen. McChrystal's memo coming to the White House," Perino said. Sen. John McCain, on his presidential campaign bus in New Hampshire, called the Army's actions in the Tillman case "inexcusable and unconscionable." "I don't know if there was a cover-up," said McCain, R-Ariz. But he added: "It was way, way too long before the whole story came out." "I think people should be held accountable, obviously, and we will continue to push that they be held accountable," he said.
