"The first Army investigator who looked into the death of former NFL player Pat Tillman in Afghanistan last year found within days that he was killed by his fellow Rangers in an act of "gross negligence," but Army officials decided not to inform Tillman's family or the public until weeks after a nationally televised memorial service."

Turns out the military will mislead folks, even when "national security" isn't involved. Wonder what the blogs reported at the time.
