    Tillman's position

    First of all, Joan, well said. It disgusts me that they used this man's death to drum up support for an already trumped-up war.

    Second, Pat Tillman played safety for the Cardinals, not quarterback. Don't give the right any reason to harp on useless mistakes that they can use to distract from the issue. I can hear O'Reilly now: "Clearly she doesn't know what she's talking about - she didn't even know what position he played."
