CBS Website reporting on Rove's IT guy death in plane crash
Wonder if CBS News will cover?

-----

But the fatal accident is also raising questions about Connell and his work for key political figures and lobbyists, which has targeted him in investigations over missing White House e-mails and a lawsuit alleging electronic voting fraud.

Following Last Friday's fatal accident, CBS Affiliate WOIO reported that Connell, who had recently been subpoenaed to testify in relation to a lawsuit alleging vote rigging in the 2004 Ohio election, was warned at least twice about flying his plane because his plane might be sabotaged.

Quoting an anonymous close friend of Connell's, WOIO correspondent Blake Chenault also reported that twice in the past two months Connell, who was an experienced pilot, canceled flights because of suspicious problems with his plane.

The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA are investigating the crash.

2. It's a start, I guess
So far, the MSM has spending more time reporting on Paris Hilton's jewelry being stolen.

11. Bush went on an 8 year crime spree
and the media didn't cover it but they swoop in on this kook fringe conspiracy theory. If it gets big enough we'll all look like fools.

17. I see no swooping going on
if they were swooping, then it would have been on the msm 3 days ago.

... and it certainly doesn't sound kooky to me. Just more of the same.
