Simon Worrall’s piece from February’s Maxim<\/i> on the mysterious death of Bush\/Rove\/GOP IT guru Mike Connell is now available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we noted in our detailed exclusive preview<\/a> of the piece last month, the 3,500-word expos\u00e8 by the British author and journalist is the closest thing to mainstream corporate media coverage that this story has received since Connell’s death. Worrall offers a number of tantalizing facts and fresh interviews about the man whose companies and computers and websites were said to have been near the center of (among other under-investigated crimes) the alleged gaming of the 2004 Presidential Election in Ohio. He has also been posting a series of short “Back Story” pieces on this feature article over on his own blog<\/a> that you may find interesting as well.<\/p>\n

Connell died when the single-engine aircraft he was piloting just prior to Christmas 2008 crashed in flames near Akron. The tragedy came just weeks after he was compelled by a federal judge to give a deposition in a long-standing 2004 federal election fraud lawsuit, on the heels of reports that Connell had been threatened by Rove to “take the fall” for whatever happened in ’04. After Worrall’s year-long investigation, he believes it’s highly likely that Connell was, in fact, murdered.<\/p>\n

The BRAD BLOG<\/a> earned 2010 Project Censored award<\/a> for “Excellence in Investigative Journalism” for our own coverage of the Connell story. Highlights of that coverage are linked below. (And P.S.: Our own feature article<\/a> on the formerly-gagged FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, in the March issue of Hustler<\/i>, is still currently on the stands!)…<\/p>\n
