この件について次のようなメールが来ました（英文のままで失礼）。事故原因その他にはやはりふれられていませんが、紹介されたサイトで今後ニュースが報じられるのではないかと期待できます。

Dear friend:

I am sorry to bear the terrible news that Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone, a staunch supporter of peace and justice causes, died along with his wife and daughter, three staff members, and two pilots in a plane crash today.

As I write these words at 12:10 p.m. PDT (3:10 p.m. PDT), CNN is reporting that the National Transportation Safety Administration's top investigators are heading to the site.

This is not only a terrible personal tragedy, but also a tragedy for the country and for the cause of peace. With the Bush Administration clearly despising Sen. Wellstone, a new alert about Al Qaida threatening attacks in the U.S., the Republicans one seat away from a majority in the Senate, and Wellstone's seat up for re-election in a tight race, one cannot help but feel suspicious about the circumstances surrounding this disaster.

Under Minnesota law, if a nominee in a Senate race dies during a campaign, his or her political party can select a replacement candidate no later than four days before the general election. Absentee ballots have already been sent in, however, and those that contain Wellstone votes are unlikely to be counted.

During the coming days, as we grieve this terrible loss, we must also turn our attention to the grave crisis this creates for the political future of America, and particularly the peace and justice community. You are welcome to post your comments and suggestions at:
