Rumsfeld to Testify in Tillman Inquiry

ABC News' Kirit Radia Reports: The Congressional inquiry into the misinformation surrounding U.S. Army Corporal Pat Tillman's death could turn into quite a spectacle when former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld testifies Wednesday.
The House Oversight Committee announced late Tuesday that Rumsfeld will join retired Generals Richard B. Myers, John P. Abizaid, Bryan Douglas Brown and Lt. General Phillip R. Kensinger, Jr. in delivering testimony before the 10:00 am ET hearing.
The hearing has been scheduled for some time but Rumsfeld did not immediately accept the committee's invitation to testify.
On Tuesday the military sent Kensinger letters of censure and reprimand for his role in covering up the true circumstances of Tillman's death. Kensinger, who commanded U.S. Army Special Forces when Tillman was killed is the highest ranking officer accused of misconduct in the case.
He was found to have failed to notify the family, public, and Army that Tillman was in fact a victim of friendly-fire, then lying to investigators. Tillman, a former NFL star, was killed in Afghanistan in 2004.

Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire interesting. Three shots from an M-16 within a 2 inch pattern in the forehead from what the doctors said was within 10 yards. Sounds more like an execution?
