- inactive, on 12/23/2008, -3/+148Let's hope a thorough investigation of the crash site and debris is performed to detect any possibility of tampering. If a cut hydraulic line or some other incriminating piece of evidence is detected, then a full scale investigation would be warrented - and hopefully, not surpressed by the Bushies.
- Striker101, on 12/23/2008, -4/+121All that occurs to me is how Britney gets all over MSM, while something that might matter is ignored.
- LeepII, on 12/23/2008, -5/+71Murder, duh.
- shupy, on 12/24/2008, -7/+65And Digg is inundated with right wingers screaming about Obama's birth certificate.
While Cheney admits to outing Plame and approving torture.
Sad. - gforce051, on 12/24/2008, -4/+51Back to you, Katie.
Thanks Tom. Well some breaking news: GOP IT Guru Mike Connell was killed in a plane crash last Friday after being warned by friends his plane may be sabotaged. We asked top GOP officials about the possibility of Connell's plane having been sabotaged, and they replied "No, that's not true."
There you have it, Tom. In other news: Paris Hilton was spotted flashing her breasts at a downtown Los Angeles night club last night.

RED RUM - jamauss, on 12/23/2008, -4/+42I'm sure people have been murdered for much less so, it wouldn't surprise me.
However, being an IT "guru" - you'd think he would have created some kind of "back door" or fail safe way for what he knew to make it into the hands of those he deemed worthy of spreading it.
Where are all the people that helped him? Why don't they speak up? - Kohaxx, on 12/24/2008, -0/+34"Have you ever wondered why, why the crime rate in Sandford is so low, yet the accident rate is so high?"
- inactive, on 12/24/2008, -5/+37more proof the MSM is neither conservative or liberal and just plain bought out by evil doers.
- grungegbunny, on 12/24/2008, -3/+34Seriously where is the real media coverage on this? This is REAL news not an anti gay preacher or what bible people use to swear in on.
- draculthemad, on 12/24/2008, -2/+3119 Action News also reported on Sunday that Connell had previously been warned by a friend that his plane might be sabotaged and had canceled two flights because of suspicious problems.
"Was it an accident -- or murder?" Taylor wondered, before concluding that the crash "was probably not a conspiracy."
Wait... what?
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
If its a documented fact that he was threatened before hand, how can you dismiss the possibility so easily?
If you havent been able to rule either possibility out, and you are presented on one hand with means, motive and opportunity, but haven't done any further investigation to see if anything actually happened?
How can you conclude anything other than its too early to come to a conclusion?
It sounds like they did some half-assed investigating found a dozen red flags, and then stopped short, threw up their hands and said 'well, we will never know. but it probably wasn't murder.' - inactive, on 12/23/2008, -7/+27I'll put my money on it going no where.
- Barackalypse, on 12/24/2008, -2/+22I'm secretly hoping that it was zombie Thomas Jefferson, risen from the grave, beginning his mission of killing his way through everyone that is subverting the integrity of our Republic and endangering the liberty and economic well being of its citizens.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 12/24/2008, -1/+20There is no money to be made in REAL journalism anymore and all the networks are about making money via ad dollars now.
- Nico_, on 12/24/2008, -2/+17Anyone who thinks murder is unheard of for politicians needs a history lesson. In fact murder is the most likely scenario and if you think that anyone who believes so wears a tin foil hat you are incredibly naive..
- inactive, on 12/24/2008, -12/+27He helped cover up all the GOP lies, treason and corruption so KARMA is a bitch!
- mithrasinvictus, on 12/24/2008, -1/+16Too bad karma was is such a hurry that he wasn't able to testify.
- ErickStevenson, on 12/24/2008, -3/+17I see the Feds are up late tonight.
- inactive, on 12/24/2008, -1/+15Let's hope it is more thorough than the Anthrax investigation.
- HimThatSpeaks, on 12/24/2008, -2/+15Good play.
- jhails, on 12/24/2008, -3/+16Nothing to see here folks. Resume reading your daily celebrity news. Oh look, Paris just bought a $200,000 pink and diamond encrusted Bentley like the one you will never own!
- phlux, on 12/24/2008, -1/+12from the bush body count list. Please note that this is a tried and true method used..
Senator John Tower: He was appointed by the Reagan/Bush Administration to chair the bipartisan committee to investigate the Iran/Contra scandals. He directed the Tower Report and had all the Iran Contra documents and knew the inside of the story. He was killed in an uninvestigated airplane crash later in Georgia in 1991. Also killed was his daughter, Marian.
Mohammed Zia al-huk: Dictator of Pakistan, and knew all about Iran/Contra, the training, funding, and arming of narco-terrorists such as Osama bin Laden. In August 1988, the same day George Bush got the Republican nomination, his plane crashed into the ground with all engines running. The Pakistanis kept the bodies around (in violation of Islamic custom) for weeks, awaiting US experts. They showed up three weeks later and never checked the bodies. Why?
Mrs. E. Howard Hunt: In December 1972, while George H. W. Bush was at the Republican National Convention, a United Airlines flight carrying Mrs. E. Howard Hunt, CIA operative and wife of Howard Hunt, (CIA operative and suspect in the Kennedy assassination) crashed. Believed to be carrying $25,000 in "hush money", she died in this crash.
Governor Mel Carnahan
In the midst of a heated race for the Senate against John Ashcroft, the Governor died in a plane crash on October 16, 2000. His death affected Democrats in two ways - it would hurt their chances of seizing control of the US Senate, and it would strongly impact the Presidential race between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Said St. Louis University political scientist Ken Warren, "There will be a sympathy vote, but that won't be enough to allow him to win. "I don't think the race will be very close. It's over." As we know now, Ashcroft lost to a dead man. Carnahan was elected by a landslide.
Dan Rocco
He died on April 1, 2002, in a plane crash in Gainesville, Georgia. He was an executive vice president at ChoicePoint, the firm that gained infamy with their faulty "felons" list supplied to Katherine Harris during the 2000 election in Florida. As a result of this list, thousands of voters (mostly African-American voters) were wrongly identified as felons and purged from the rolls.
Gary Caradori He was investigating Lawrence E. King, Jr., a very influential black Republican who was also a friend of George H.W. Bush. King was director of the Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska, and was suspected of embezzling $40 million. The Nebraska Senate questioned child prostitutes, who accused King of running a child prostitution ring. One of these children said that she saw George H.W. Bush at one of King's parties. "Pronto", a newspaper in Barcelona, Spain, reported that the scandal "appears to directly implicate politicos of the state of Nebraska and Washington DC who are very close to the White House and George Bush himself". Gary Caradori claimed that he had evidence that supported these allegations. On July 11, 1990, Gary Caradori was killed along with his 6-year old son in the crash of his small plane, after a mid-air explosion, the cause of which was never discovered. He had told friends repeatedly in the weeks before his death that he was afraid his plane would be sabotaged.
and there are others.... - FasterGun, on 12/24/2008, -11/+22Wait, a "missing" birth certificate is something that "might matter"? You may not be a right-winger but you sure are a dumb *****.
- mohsenxp, on 12/24/2008, -0/+11We report, you decide; but we decide what to report.
Another point which I've found out since being on Digg, is that internet news sites such as Digg are first to break a story for a good reason - they break it without enough conclusive evidence. It is good in a way because at least we are finding out information we wouldn't even know about if we watched TV alone, however it does leave a lot of people speculating.
For example, I don't know if many people remember this, but there was a story a couple of months ago about a few british police officers who let a man die in custody and then later found out he had a mental condition.
2 weeks after I read that on Digg I heard it on the news! I was like 'why is the news always so behind?' but then I realised that it was on the news ONLY after the final judgement by the court had been passed.
I guess that's the difference. It is not always censorship like people claim it to be. The TV channels just can't get away with as much as the internet sites can. - inactive, on 12/24/2008, -3/+14Protip: When warned about imminent death in a tiny single-engined plane that you are piloting, schedule a commercial flight or ***** DRIVE A CAR.
- swrostmore, on 12/24/2008, -1/+12http://opednews.com/thoreau1203_wellstone_assassin ...
- draculthemad, on 12/24/2008, -2/+11I had thought of that, but if he had that level of foresight he probably wouldn't have been flying by himself in a single-engine plane would he?
Especially since the possibility of sabotage had evidently occurred to him.
Unless he was going to take the plane apart and put it back together, he'd never be able to verify 100% there wasn't something messed with. Even if youd spent the last week sleeping under the plane before the trip, youd still have to wonder if they hadnt fiddled something when you had to leave to go to the bathroom. - JasonAdams13, on 12/24/2008, -4/+13That's the sad thing. Nothing is going to come from this. People should be making a much bigger deal out of thi, whether it was sabotage or not because there's a big chance it was. I wish they would at least launch a deeper investigation into this, but I doubt anything is going to happen.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 12/24/2008, -1/+10The cocked gun aimed at his head is out of frame...
- pintomp3, on 12/24/2008, -0/+8for profit news = infotainment.
- m1nds1llus1on, on 12/24/2008, -4/+12The federal lawsuits about Obama's birth certificate are insane because the state of Hawaii has already provided it and no CREDIBLE source questions it's validity. Obama was born in Hawaii, it's already been proven, if that wasn't the case, don't you think Hillary would of capitalized on it in the primary? I mean she threw everything including the kitchen sink at him, something as simple as that would of been her first line of attack. McCain doesn't even believe that attack is credible and he would be the one to gain the most if it was.
Get over the fact that people are sick of the GOP screwing the middle and lower class over in favor of the rich and they voted you out. - HimThatSpeaks, on 12/24/2008, -5/+13Somehow you accuse those of thinking and drawing connections between known facts idiots. You sir, have a very week working definition of idiot and might need to switch course a bit. No one here is a judge and jury, we are pointing out our beliefs at this point in time, based on the facts as they are presented at this point in time, and given the history of the other party which is being accused merely out of coincidence. Please refrain from your accusations and spend some time self reflecting.
- inactive, on 12/24/2008, -2/+9It was no accident. Look at the strange circumstances surrounding the death. The answer here is assassination. Plain & simple governmental assassination.

"And just so conservatives don't take it to heart
i don't think Bush did it, 'cuz he isn't that smart
he's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
from the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
the military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz doctrine"
not that I'm endorsing everything Immortal Technique rhymes about, but he seems to be on to something here... - inactive, on 12/24/2008, -1/+8LOL! That's the best post on here. So true of American Media.
- Chainheart2, on 12/24/2008, -2/+9This isn't about identity, not about Democrats or Republicans, it's about corruption. You should never be more likely to believe or disbelieve something simply because it goes for or against your political party, even if it were the case.
- inactive, on 12/24/2008, -1/+8The prophetic 70's film Network was never truer.

"So What?" - meed, on 12/24/2008, -4/+10Murder Gate, Bush and Cheney have destroyed our country, now they are killing people who could prove they did it through a rigged election.
