Our government has been lying to us about practically every matter of moment in our lives, including the tax cut, the SEC, Homeland Security, 9/11, and even Iraq. Covering up a crime of this magnitude would be nothing new, as the case of JFK vidily displays. But in Minnesota we ought to be able to do better. We should not let the death of a man who couragous[sic] spoke up for the little guy go without thorough and competent investigation. If the plane was sabotaged, as I also believe, we have to come grips with that fact and do what we can to bring the perpetrators to justice. That is the least we can do for Paul Wellstone.
The American professor, James Fetzer, claims to have analyzed various pieces of evidence, including witness testimonies and flight data, that suggest foul play in the plane crash that killed Senator Paul Wellstone. He also points to discrepancies in the official investigation report and raises questions about the timing of the crash, which occurred just days before a crucial Senate election.
The official investigation into the plane crash was conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and concluded that the cause of the crash was due to pilot error and poor weather conditions. However, some critics argue that the NTSB did not thoroughly investigate other potential factors, such as sabotage or mechanical failure.
According to Fetzer and other conspiracy theorists, President Bush and his administration had a motive to eliminate Senator Wellstone, who was a vocal opponent of the Iraq War and other policies of the Bush administration. They believe that the President saw Wellstone as a threat to his re-election and wanted to silence him.
The majority of experts, including aviation and political experts, dismiss the theory that President Bush was involved in the assassination of Senator Wellstone. They argue that there is no substantial evidence to support this claim and that the official investigation was thorough and accurate.
The Wellstone family has repeatedly stated that they do not believe in the conspiracy theories surrounding Senator Wellstone's death. They have also denounced individuals, like Fetzer, who continue to make these claims, stating that it is disrespectful to the memory of their loved one and adds unnecessary pain to their grieving process.
