Speaking of BFEE "Hits," anyone wanna speculate on THIS? [View All]

WE know there's been a streak of convenient deaths among those who would cross swords with the Bush Cabal. Whether it be a reporter "committing suicide," or a whistleblower, or more than one political opponent's plane falling outta the sky, there's been a whole lotta dyin' going on that's benefitted them.

I'm surprised this one barely registered on the radar

'60 Minutes' producer dies at 34

NEW YORK (AP) — Trevor Nelson, a producer for CBS News' 60 Minutes, died on Thursday from complications from meningitis. He was 34. Nelson produced reports for correspondent Steve Kroft, including A RECENT STORY ON BUSINESS INTERESTS IN IRAQ BY VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY'S former firm. In three years, he produced 20 segments, 15 of which led the broadcast.

Kroft called Nelson the most talented young producer he had ever worked with.

"Trevor Nelson was a guy who had star written all over him," said 60 Minutes founder Don Hewitt. "I thought ONE DAY HE MIGHT BE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THIS BROADCAST."

I thought CBS showed lotsa balls in airing this segment; they did so during the Iraqi Invasion, when the media was at their most spineless. The thought did occur to me back then, "wow, I wonder if they'll pay the price for this."

Kinda reminds me of the circumstances surrounding the very first person to die of inhalation Anthrax; he "coincidentally" happened to be the photo editor at the Enquirer who made the personal decision to publish that photo of the Bush Twins cavorting on the barroom floor.

Anthrax, Meningitis. BIO-WARFARE?

Thoughts, anyone?
