Were you ever tackled by Pat tillman?

-

Bill Dwyre, former sports editor of The LATimes, writes here about the upcoming documentary film about how Pat Tillman's mother dug in and chased down the facts about how Pat was killed.

In this preview of "The Tillman Story", Dwyre indicts virtually the entire community of journalists. His article is entitled, "Pat Tillman film a haunting blindside".  It's a look at how the Army tried to cover up the facts surrounding Pat's death.
The football references are apt:  Pat Tillman was a terrific football player!
The Army owed his memory better.  Journalists owed his memory better.  This Nation owed his memory better.
"The Tillman Story" is due out in August.  This is a film I gotta see.

It looks like the news out of the Lower Merion School District just went off the cliff!
Philly.com reported on Friday, April 16, 2010, that thousands of photos of who knows how many students have been discovered during the forensic investigation of the District's controversial laptop tracking activities.

"Blake Robbins was photographed by a laptop
while he slept in bed, his lawyer asserts.
The Robbins family provided this image."

Philly.com says, "... a lawyer for Harriton sophomore Blake Robbins filed a motion in federal court asserting that the system had secretly captured "thousands of images of webcam pictures and screen shots," including photos of students, the Web sites they visited and excerpts of their online chats."
I believe this is such a serious matter, with such wide-ranging implications, that, if I lived there, I would strongly consider moving any child of mine to a different school district.
Background information on this is located here.

UPDATE #1.  April 18, 2010, PCMag reports that, "School Admin Takes Fifth Amendment in "Peeping Tom" Case".
