Report: Evidence destroyed after Tillman's death

From CNN:

A new Army report on the death of former NFL player Pat Tillman in Afghanistan last year concluded that his uniform and body armor were burned a day after he was killed -- and before investigators had determined he was shot by his fellow soldiers.

The yet-to-be-released investigation results, first reported by the Washington Post, concludes that the burning of the clothes and armor amounted to destruction of evidence.

And

The report, however, found no official intent by military commanders to hide the truth.

Hmmm. "No official intent," eh? At this point, I'm extremely distrustful of the Pentagon when it comes to the "hero" stories that they spoon-feed the media. Remember how the dramatic rescue from an Iraqi hospital of Sergeant What's-Her-Name during the invasion turned out to be amost entirely staged? This whole NFL star patriot thing, dying on the battlefield for his country, presented, I'm sure, an irresistible opportunity for the military to get some good press: friendly fire would have lessened the impact. I can't say that I know for sure that they're lying about a cover-up, but there was certainly motivation for them to do so, and they've done it before, so I have to ask, why wouldn't they have tweaked the Tillman story?
