My original email from the thread....
Mr. Crow,
John Leanos has overstepped the boundaries of all that is decent with his use of Pat Tillman's image in his anti-war campaign.
I am not communicating with you to debate the war. In this nation, Mr. Leanos is free to make whatever statement he wishes. The sacrifice made by many like Pat Tillman has ensured that freedom.
But, Mr. Leanos is not free from the consequences of making those statements and the Internet provides a phenomenal medium to inform and mobilize people. Mr. Leanos' actions have already hit the radar, and you can expect the volume of protest to increase as ASU falls under tigher scrutiny.
Unless Mr. Leanos has sought permission and agreed to pay the Tillman Estate licensing money for the use of his image, I encourage ASU to strongly examine this infringement and mis-representation of Tillman's intellectual property.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
BenD
