Army’s lies
Re “Tillman’s brother lashes out,” April 25
If the Army can present a bald-faced lie to the family of one of its own, to the point of ordering witnesses to keep silent about the truth, what bigger lies could the Army be babbling at the rest of us?
I can guess at some:
* That conditions in Iraq are getting better.
* That the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan are beatable.
* That the surge is something other than a further tragic waste of American lives.
* That our prisoners and “detainees” are being treated humanely and fairly.
