Democratic Governor of Alabama Railroaded?
The Don Siegelman case has been followed in some corners of the mainstream media, but has yet to generate any real outrage. It should: It appears that the Democratic governor of Alabama was thrown into prison after Republican operatives and officeholders in the state (with the help of Karl Rove) gamed the justice system. People are speaking out, including 52 former state attorneys-general of both political parties who feel Siegelman was dealt a case of twisted justice. Let's hope this 60 Minutes report draws more attention to the situation. It's a good way to learn about the case.

i am in favor of the gradual abolition of the federal government to be replaced by a loose confederation of bio-regional city states, much the same as what is being proposed by the vermont secessionist movement. brent francis maupin

Just the kind of dirty BS you would expect from the Bush Rove white house, its a little sad how unsurprising it is, and a reflection of just how disgusting Bush & Rove are. Of course the fact that Hillary wants to compare Roves tactics to Obamas show how sad and low she and Bill are.

“60 Minutes Done A Great Job”
The Bush’s elete group of corrupt GOP’ers are scared to death that Don Siegelman may be on the streets before the election. Slick Bob is so nervous that he is combing his hair and spraying his mouth and under arms every five minutes for two reasons: He’s hoping that the next president will be John McCain a republican and that Riley will be asked to be McCain's running mate. If the next president is a Democrat he/she will probally appoint new U.S. Attorneys in Alabama. Riley along with most of the top GOP operatives could get Federal charges filed against them for taking millions of dollars from Michael Scanlon and Jack Abramoff. This money was used to defeat Siegelman's lottery and to fund Riley's two campaigns for governor.
