Michael Connell was a Republican IT Consultant accused of electronically stealing votes from Kerry during the 2004 election. The investigation is ongoing, and Connell was a key witness.
Connell was also an experienced pilot. A civil attorney wanted him placed under federal protection, because the attorney had confidential information that Karl Rove had threatened Connell and his wife.
Connell had cancelled two flights in the last two months due to possible sabotage. Connell has now died in a plane crash.

UPDATE: After posting this diary, I got a lot of responses from people treating this as a "conspiracy theory". What planet do these people live on??
I'm not saying there's enough hard evidence to convict Rove or Bush. But I'm saying there's an obvious reason to have public interest in this case and demand an open and honest investigation. I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention because we can't count on MSM to do their job. You guys are ready to forget and move on even before the story is covered up!
FYI, here's a few other "conspiracy theories"...
- Bush lied about WMD's to push an Iraq invasion
- Republicans use voter suppression, voter intimidation, and vote rigging to steal elections
- Bush, Rove and other White House staff leaked the identity of a CIA agent in retaliation for an anti-Iraq War article
- Bush, Rumsfeld et al secretly authorized illegal torture and secret prisons
- Bush illegally wiretapped US citizens
- The Bush administration has COMMITTED SERIOUS CRIMES, LIED ABOUT IT, and COVERED THEM UP over and over during his presidency
All of these "claims" were attacked as "thin" when they were first made. After all these "conspiracy theories" have been proven true, I find it mind-boggling that any intelligent person could give the Bush administration the benefit of the doubt in a case like this. It would be simply naive to think they couldn't do something like this.
I'm not saying we have enough evidence to convict in a court of law. But I'm saying the facts of this story are important and everyone should know about this before the media sweeps it under the carpet.
