In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren starts the pendulum swing back to the left. [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)28. The NTSB found "no evidence of sabotage".
My question to YOU, Nye Bevan, is this:
Do our "Security Agencies" have the ability to crash a light plane without leaving "evidence"?
ABSOLUTELY!
There may be no easier was to assassinate someone and leave no evidence than by causing the crash of a light plane.
I'm not very smart,
and I'm certainly not a part of a secret government "security" agency,
but I can think of at least two ways that wouldn't involve more than two people,
AND leave no evidence.
(I have been a licensed Commercial Pilot since 1969.
I KNOW light aircraft.)
There is also the direct threat made by Dick Cheney to "Make you and your family pay if you vote against the IWR" less than 2 weeks before the crash.
"At a meeting full of war veterans in Willmar, Minn., days before his death, Wellstone told attendees that Cheney told him, "If you vote against the war in Iraq, the Bush administration will do whatever is necessary to get you. There will be severe ramifications for you and the state of Minnesota."

Other versions of this meeting with the War Veterans in Minnesota in 2002 claim that Cheney also directly threatened Wellstone's Family.
I was in Minnesota, working on Wellstone's re-election at that time,
and [personally spoke with Vets whop attended that meeting.
I believe them.
The answer to YOUR question is this:
I don't really know if Paul Wellstone was assassinated or not.
I have no proof either way,
and neither do YOU,
but I wouldn't put is past Cheney and his gang.
Apparently, you choose to trust them.
Good Luck to YOU,
but I'm, watching my ass,
and hope Warren does too.

In the insanely hostile environment that Democrats are working in, it's a necessary form of stealth.
