Somebody should check the sona fides of this "John Bennett". It could be another one of those New Orleans moments - - the one with the crying clown who claimed his mothewr died in the flood? Anyways, rudely interrupting the governor and then begging for "duh yoonyin" to come in sounds like a typical Democrat/Wellstone-funeral gimmick to me.

In this case I'm quite confident he was bona fide, although I can't prove it. And while he did directly confront the governor, he didn't accuse him directly of responsibility. He raised the issue of why the men were let back in the mine, without accusing anyone in specific of being to blame.

He actually seemed fairly reasonable, and it seemed to me that it was not a staged media stunt or exploitation. Just my gut instinct.
