THE OTHER CINDY SHEEHAN

A far more credible person with some serious questions about the death of her son in combat. Her name? Mary Tillman. Did you know that one of Pat Tillman’s favorite authors was Noam Chomsky and that he opposed the Iraq war? I didn’t. It makes his patriotism and service more admirable, in my view. And the obvious lies and obfuscation and contradictions from the military all the more reprehensible. Of course, the Tillman family have only one real powerful ally in D.C.: John McCain. With every day, we
realize just how big a loss it was when George Bush smeared his way to primary victory in South Carolina five years ago.
