by Rabbi Yonah of English-writing Israeli-Bloggers
....This man was singled out to be persecuted by Karl Rove.
Which in and of itself means he most likely is innocent. Ninety-
percent of the charges leveled against him were thrown out
before the trial. He was found innocent of over a dozen others in
the trial.
Don Siegelman was a highly popular Democratic Governor of
Alabama. He is the only person to ever have served Alabama by
being elected to its four highest offices.
What horrific crime did he commit?
