In the letter to the White House, Waxman writes, "To assist the Committee with its investigation, I ask that you provide documents relating to how and when White House officials learned of the circumstances surrounding Corporal Tillman's death."
"Specifically, the Committee requests that you provide all documents received or generated by any official in the Executive Office of the President, including the Communications Office and Office of Speechwriting, between April 22, 2002, and July I , 2004, that relate to Corporal Tillman," Waxman's letter continues. "These documents should be provided to the Committee by Friday, May 18, 2007."
Office of Speechwriting? Are they talking about the White House Correspondents Dinner speech?
Oh dang, they are.
Democrats hope that the documents will reveal whether President Bush knew the true nature of Tillman’s death before he talked about the NFL star-turned-Army Ranger at the 2004 White House Correspondents Dinner.
