Pat Tillman's Family Still Looking for Answers

And they're hoping the National Football League will help. From Dave Zirin:

The NFL has seized on Pat Tillman as another way to connect with the red, white and blue sports fan. Earlier this year, former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue brought together the NFL and the United Service Organizations to build the Pat Tillman USO Center at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. And the league just opened an exhibit dedicated to Tillman at its Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Now the Tillmans want the NFL to help them speed up the latest congressional hearing into Pat Tillman's death.

The league certainly seems to have the clout to get things moving. Owners of professional football teams are some of the wealthiest and best-connected people in the United States. In the 2004 election cycle, NFL and other sports teams owners gave $14.6 million to Democrats and Republicans, as well as to independent political committees. San Diego Chargers owner Alex Spanos gave a $4-million donation to the Progress for America Voter Fund, which backed Bush.

NFL officials haven't responded yet, and I doubt they will. They have too much invested in Pat Tillman's death to care about the surviving family members, much less the truth.
