Free Siegelman

44 former state Attorneys General, both Democrats and Republicans, have written to demand that the Congress investigate the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Seigelman to see if it was politically motivated. This is tangentially related to the US Attorneys scandal and the Justice Department's habit of covering up for Republicans while punishing Democrats. Alabama's US Attorney wasn't among those fired; is this the result? The Siegelman case is fishy as all get out, with Karl Rove perhaps playing a central role. In the letter, the former AGs cite half a dozen instances where the law doesn't seem to be properly applied, and the case appears to be politically motivated. Bravo for these men and women coming forward on behalf of justice over political expediency. The letter is here.
