On Sunday s 60 Minutes, Katie Couric explored the unanswered questions that still surround Pat Tillman s death more than 4 years after he was killed in a friendly-fire incident in Afghanistan.

One part that stands out is when Couric asks Pete Geren, the new Secretary of the Army, about eyewitness statements that had been altered to falsely show that Tillman had been engaged with the enemy at the time of his death. He replied, Well, that s one of the questions that we will never completely answer. That s a telling statement because the Bush administration has exerted executive privilege over certain papers relating to discussion of the friendly-fire shooting because they claim they would implicate Executive Branch confidentiality interests. Last August, when pressed directly about it, President Bush avoided making any promise to ever come clean about what really happened. While Pat Tillman s mother Mary continues to press for the truth that remains hidden from her family and the public, which she has chronicled in her just-released book, Boots on the Ground by Dusk: My Tribute to Pat Tillman, his widow, Marie, would like people to focus more on Pat s life, not his death, and has worked behind the scenes helping to ensure that Pat s legacy lives on through education and helping others effect social change through The Pat Tillman Foundation and through the yearly Pat s Run, which continues to grow as it drew thousands over the past few weeks at the 4th annual event in Tempe and San Jose (video). The Pat Tillman story is a complicated one that can waveringly or even simultaneously bring about the strongest feelings of pride in one s country and shame in its government. This much is true: No man ever sacrificed more for his country than Pat Tillman did, and no cover-up could ever cover that up.

Download | Play Download | Play (h/t BillW) I don t know where Bob Schieffer s been these last seven years, but he thinks that the White House might have an credibility problem: I saw a story in the Washington Post the other day, where a reporter granted a government official anonymity in order as the newspaper put it, for the government official to speak more candidly. Well, that made me wonder. Do we no longer expect government officials to tell the whole story if they must take responsibility for what they say? Even worse, do we believe that is acceptable? For sure, the White House won no prize for candor last week; it gave the outgoing head of the General Services Administration, Lurita Doan, a big send off by thanking her for making government buildings more energy-efficient or some such, when in truth, she was forced out. She was the object of multiple investigations, suspicious dealings on government contracts, and asking government employees what they could do to help political candidates, which is, of course, against the law. Even the government’s watchdog agency recommended she be disciplined to the fullest extent. Yet the White House spokesman declined to say if her resignation had anything to do with any of that. From the White House came only thanks and confirmation she was gone. The government saw no obligation to say why, which leads me to this: have decades of secrecy, spin and stonewalling conditioned us to accept less than the whole story from the government? Is telling the whole truth no longer a given? Frankly, I’m not sure. What I do know is more and more people seem skeptical everything the government says and does. What we saw last week may be one reason why. Oh Jiminy Christmas. The Lurita Doan scandal is such a minor one relative to all the other lies, spin, incompetence and outright negligence of the Bush administration that it s tragically laughable that this is the one that Schieffer thinks exemplifies why the American people are skeptical to what comes out of the White House. But the $64,000 question that Schieffer refuses to address is how much responsibility should the establishment media take upon itself for unconditionally and unquestioningly putting out White House talking points with no context or independent fact finding. Where is the onus on the Fourth Estate?
