circumstances and point out, rather obviously, that, if any senator were to say, just happen to die in a freak plane crash, sen. wellstone (who was one of the most principled members in the senate, notwithstanding his staunch opposition to the war and damn near everything else on the bush agenda) would be one of the most 'convenient'.

i don't know that wellstone had done anything that would warrant assassination, but, i ain't ruling it out. in my mind, this could have been a freak of politics as easily as a freak of weather.
