...pardon the presumption, but do I smell sabotage. If they can sabatoge entire presidential election (2000) why cant they sabotage a cessna. This guy and Karl Rove had an extensive professional relationship. Ironically, there relationship had since chilled.

There will - if nothing else - be some great movies made about the Bush Administration.

I'm thinking more the theme to The Godfather.

Question is....Who's Fredo?.....that must be Jeb

yea, man....seriously. The drame here is thick.

sounds Clintonian to me

Do you really think that it's possible to sabotage an airplane so it'll crash 3 miles from landing--that's about a minute and a half in flight at approach speed. Suppose he hit a tailwind enroute and arrived 3 minutes earlier?

You rig it so the engine quits right after take-off.

There are a lot of moving parts in a plane other than the engine that are in use when landing that could easily be tampered with, but I understand this is just a cessna. But on the other hand I would not say its beyond the realm of impossibility. Landing a plane is the easy part and although a storm had passed several hours earlier, weather conditions were not unfavorable. I dont know the facts, but courtesy of Instrument landing systems, a dog could land a delta shuttle (provided it aint Runway 13 at LaGuardia).

All that aside, the pilot thought his life was endanger. He believed his plane would be sabatoged. If a woman believes her husband will kill her, and she suffers some ominous accident....well you get the idea. This guy was the IT Guru for the Bush-Cheney administration; missing emails and all. This could all be an incredible coincidence and it could be that he ran out of fuel or lost his bearings in a low ceiling, but its the circumstances and from what I understand he was an experienced pilot. My eyebrows are raised.

sorry, he was KARL ROVE's IT consultant but he set up campaign websites and what not for Bush et al

...and snitch
