Defense and Security, The Tillman Fratricide
The Tillman Fratricide: What the Leadership of the Defense Department Knew
On Wednesday, August 1, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will hold a hearing to examine what senior Defense Department officials knew about U.S. Army Corporal Patrick Tillman’s death by fratricide.
In April, the Committee held a hearing investigating the death of Cpl. Tillman.
The following witnesses will testify:
* The Honorable Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense
* Gen. John P. Abizaid (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Central Command
* Gen. Richard B. Myers (Retired), Former Chair, Joint Chiefs of Staff
* Gen. Bryan Douglas Brown (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command
* Lt. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger, Jr. (Retired), Former Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command.
Any guesses as to how many times Donald Rumsfeld says "golly, I cannot recall?"
