Tillman Hearing, Part Two

(Photo via Hillbilly Report.)

The House Government Oversight Committee started a hearing at 10:00 am ET on the Tillman death and the odd habit of the Pentagon to leak out bits and pieces of facts along with wholly false blather. Watch it live via C-Span 3 or courtesy of Henry Waxman.

RawStory reports that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld changed his mind would likely appear at the hearing after all, and so he has — though he’s doing a really excellent Abu Gonzales impersonation instead of, y’know, actually testifying. But I guess you go with the Rumsfelds you have rather than the Rumsfelds you wish you had. And as Christy mentioned in the first thread, AP has a story on the latest finger-pointing in the saga — at a three star general who has now been censured.

If you haven’t already read this piece from Pat Tillman’s brother, you really should. Christy’s stuck at the airport on the way to Chicago, and the WiFi there is intermittent — so if folks are watching the hearing, pick a point person in the comments to liveblog a bit. And then everyone else please hold back from commenting too much or you’ll crash the site. (Please be kind to the moderators and don’t do that. Thanks!)
