Paul Wellstone - Wellstone told an audience that before the vote to use force against Iraq, Cheney told him that "If you vote against the war in Iraq, the Bush administration will do whatever is necessary to get you. There will be severe ramifications for you and the state of Minnesota." He was one of the few Senators that did, a few weeks later, his plane crashes and he, his wife, and his daughter die.

David Kelly - Caused a scandal over the dossier on Iraq, found dead a couple of days later, a panel says very quickly that he committed suicide even though the investigation was not completed. The way of slashing his wrists would also be incredibly painful as well as suicide being considered a sin according to his Baha'i faith all make it seem very unusual that he did it.

Joe Wilson - Writes an op-ed sharply criticizing the Bush Administration and debunking their claims, then his wife gets outed as a CIA agent and her career is ruined.
