Senator Paul Wellstone, the progressive Democratic Senator from Minnesota, tragically died in a plane crash eight years ago this month, just before Election Day, as he was running for a third term. Minnesota Public Radio has obtained hundreds of pages from the FBI's file on Wellstone, beginning when he participated in protests against the Vietnam War in the early 1970s. The files go right up to the plane crash and its aftermath, as the FBI investigated tips indicating the crash was a result of sabotage.
