Pat Tillman’s father called Army investigations into his son’s death “shams” in a letter to The Washington Post on Saturday, and accused investigators of deliberately falsifying facts to cover up Army mistakes.

The letter, which offers clarifications to comments Pat Tillman Sr. made to The Washington Post on May 23, said that calling him “critical” of the Army’s handling of the investigation is an understatement.

“I did not say the Army ‘botched’ the investigation,” the letter read. “I said it deliberately falsified baseline facts — e.g. distance, light conditions, details perceived before and while firing, and the identification of ‘friendlies.’ ”
