The Iraq resolution passed 77-23, Cheney certainly didn't need to waste time twisting Wellstone's arm.
I read the NTSB report, seemed like a pretty solid case of pilot error, poor weather and get-there-itis.
I don't seem to see the reference to the automatic weather waiver for Congress Critters mentioned.
You know, the one that exempts Congressmen from the FAA rules for safe flying in inclement weather. The ones the peons have to follow.
Cry me a river, Mr. Thereau.
What pressure was the flight crew under? Maybe Wellstone should be charged with manslaughter?
