The U.S. Attorney scandal is part of a convoluted political pattern
that apparently reaches into Alabama.
...............................................................................................................
Why did that activity suddenly become a crime?
Editorial Decatur Daily 4/26/07
Most Alabamians may not care terribly much that former Gov. Don
Siegelman faces sentencing on federal corruption charges in the coming
weeks. But all Alabamians should care if the process that may put him in
a federal prison was fair and free of politics.
The looming scandal involving Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Rove over the
sacking of eight U.S. Attorneys who refused to do political investigations
has Mr. Siegelman retelling his story with more vigor. The U.S. Attorney
scandal is part of a convoluted political pattern that he contends reaches
into Alabama as a successful Republican plot to rid the state of a
Democratic governor — Mr. Siegelman. He gave the impression that he
would love for congressional investigators to take up his case. His is an
involved story that includes millions of dollars in questionable Mississippi
gambling money and an effort to stop casino competition from Alabama. .
