Investigations into Corporal Tillman's faced challenges in determining what senior officials at the White House and Defense Department knew, with a widespread lack of recall among interviewed officials. A similar lack of recollection was encountered in the investigation of Private Lynch's inaccurate accounts, highlighting gaps in knowledge regarding the dissemination of misleading information to the media and the delay in correcting the false narrative surrounding her capture and rescue.80 pagesenCommittee Approved ReportsMisleading Information From the Battlefield: The Tillman and Lynch EpisodesHouse Committee Approved Report16: Defense1600: Generalhttps://web.archive.org/web/20090101102222/http://oversight.house.gov/story.asp?ID=2099110Yes
