FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Former pro football player Pat Tillman was probably killed by friendly fire as he led his team of Army Rangers up a hill during a firefight in Afghanistan (news - web sites) last month, the U.S. Army said Saturday.

While there was no one specific finding of fault, the investigation results indicate that Cpl. Tillman probably died as a result of friendly fire while his unit was engaged in combat with enemy forces," Lt. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger Jr. said in a brief statement to reporters at the Army Special Operations Command.


Kensinger said the firefight took place in "very severe and constricted terrain in impaired light" with 10 to 12 enemy combatants firing on U.S. forces.

1. Will they add this to the commercials?

Be an army of one, and get shot by a whole 'nother army of one.

Karl Rove has been trying from day one to create another Audie Murphy, and keeps
scr*wing the pooch. Perhaps he is reading the wrong book by Machiavelli.

But Chalabi and Abu Ghraib are going to do for Karl's grand
action figure strategy to make this Charlie Foxtrot popular.
