I have hardly been keeping up with all this Pat Tillman business, (here’s a report if your not up to speed either) but am I to understand from the word “fratricide” in the story means that, rather than being accidentally killed by “friendly fire”, he was actually fragged by his own men because he was a gun-ho barking-crazy psycho and fatally dangerous to anyone close to him? Or is that just my cynical assumption.
And meanwhile, as I posted the above, this appeared in my in-box. “TOKYO — A health ministry affiliate has received 23 reports of antiviral drug Tamiflu causing neuropsychiatric disorders in children aged under 10 such as hallucinations, depressed consciousness or delirium." Now wasn’t this junk being pumped up by the pharmaceutical companies as their first line of defense against H5N1 Avian Flu? I never did trust it. Like Pat Tillman’s unfortunate death, it just seemed so overhyped.
The secret word is Skepticism

You are a shameless traitor and should be killed.
And your stupid cat that probably doesn't exist anyway.
anonymous eh? More like spineless cat killer by the sounds of it!
Perhaps this "fraticide" occured because he might not have been gung-ho enough? He seemed to have had anti-war views and I've also read that he had planned on meeting with author Noam Chomsky upon his return to the USA to discuss what he considered to be an illegal war. (Some info here: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Tillman").
Also, it might just be what it seems; someone messed-up and panicked, and got the brass to cover it up. Being Canadian, we've also have troops in Afghanistan and have had our shares of "friendly fire" incidents over the pass five years, some due to sheer bad luck and some from gross incompetence.
