uncensored documents to Congress Friday -- a victory for
Tillman's family who have complained that the heavily redacted

records from three Army investigations and an inspector
general's report provide clues that Congress will use to
determine whether a cover-up took place, including:  --
deliberate destruction of evidence;  -- testimony from soldiers
who claim they were told to keep quiet about key details of
Tillman's death;  -- false or distorted information in casualty
reports, the field hospital report and press re
