LAT changes a crucial word in Tillman piece *

Regarding that Bill Dwyre column on Pat Tillman that I mentioned over the weekend, sharp-eyed readers noticed that the original phrase Dwyre used — that Tillman was "murdered by guys on his own team" — has been changed to "killed by guys on his own team." Patterico follows the chain of evidence and the lack of a formal, transparent correction.

* April 30 update: The Times explains it was an editing fix made right away, and Patterico has posted an update.
