One of my sources died in a plane crash last night...

UPDATED BELOW (1, 2, and 3)

I don't usually reveal sources, but I think this is incredibly important. Michael Connell died in a plane crash last night. He was a key witness in the Ohio election fraud case that I have been reporting on. More importantly, however, he had information that he was ready to share.

You see, Mike Connell set-up the alternate email and communications system for the White House. He was responsible for creating the system that hosted the infamous GWB43.com accounts that Karl Rove and others used. When asked by Congress to provide these emails, the White House said that they were destroyed. But in reality, what Connell is alleged to have done is move these files to other servers after having allegedly scrubbed the files from all "known" Karl Rove accounts.

In addition, I have reason to believe that the alternate accounts were used to communicate with US Attorneys involved in political prosecutions, like that of Don Siegelman. This is what I have been working on to prove for over a year. In fact, it was through following the Siegelman-Rove trail that I found evidence leading to Connell. That is how I became aware of him. Mike was getting ready to talk. He was frightened.

He has flown his private plane for years without incident. I know he was going to DC last night, but I don't know why. He apparently ran out of gas, something I find hard to believe. (See Update 3 below). I am not saying that this was a hit nor am I resigned to this being simply an accident either. I am no expert on aviation and cannot provide an opinion on the matter. What I am saying, however, is that given the context, this event needs to be examined carefully. If you want to understand the context more broadly, I suggest you read this article I did a while back about the break-ins and arson cases that Siegelman and others have experienced.

UPDATE THREE

Okay, so I have some additional information from an airport source. Here is what I have learned:

1. Connell may not have run out of gas, but may have hit an ice patch. The initial call I got described him running out of gas. That is no longer what is said to have happened.

2. The problem with that is - as I just learned - his plane was "equipped to deal with ice on all key surfaces," like wings for example. Remember, I am not an expert on aviation or even mildly informed on different types of planes. So I will add to this when I get more information relating to the actual plane and its abilities, specs, etc.

3. He took off from a small airport called College Park.

4. He was aware of the ice conditions, and remained grounded at that airport for two hours until he felt comfortable to fly (again, from an airport source).

That is the latest. I will keep you posted - hopefully when I learn something new.

1. Accidents do happen

but this is very odd considering who he was and what he knew.

[baldguy]

3. How many other witnesses will be "accidented"?

2. Thanks for this information.

4. Perfect Ambiguity....Everyone will quietly suspect foul play - no one in authority will dare say it

So not only will Mike Connell say nothing, but anyone else who knows the truth will think twice before they come forward.

Make that three times...

10. One is killed in an 'accident' and hundreds are frightened.

Leverage.

:puke:

5. I look at it this way:

If Lala thinks there is a reason to be suspicious, she is good enough at what she does for me to share that suspicion with her. She is nearly peerless at what she does. The anti-icing gear is a telling addition to the story.

And besides, how many people like Connell have to die in small plane accidents before it stops being a joke line. That guy had the answers to a lot of questions and he was talking to Lala.

[merh]

12. LaLa's headline doesn't do much to make other sources

feel safe.

6. Holy Crap!! You scared me!! I thought Larissa had died

:scared:

:spank:

[lavenderdiva]

9. I thought the same thing....

the headline is confusing- :scared:

[patrice]

7. This just blows me away. Very weird how it always seems to be our side that dies this way. nt

[Frustratedlady]

8. With all the suspicious activities we KNOW of by Karl Rove,

surely something will bring him down.

However, if he is in charge of enhancing George's legacy and can pull that off, with his imagination, he'll beat any charges thrown at him.

What a waste of oxygen.

11. I would hope that whatever he knew....

he would have written down or videotaped or somehow recorded that information and stored it in a safe place. Especially if he felt he was in danger.

13. If he "ran out of gas," why such a huge explosion?

Debris was scattered everywhere evidently. Most such crashes I've seen reported on TV, the plane stayed substantially intact.

Just saying. I'm no expert.
