TUSCALOOSA | I'm hearing that the long-rumored "60 Minutes" story on the trial, conviction and incarceration of former Gov. Don Siegelman is in the can and that CBS is just waiting until their part of the NFL playoffs are over to air it. U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, Alabama's 7th Congressional District congressman, seemed to confirm that last week.

Davis, who was very aggressive in questioning the Department of Justice about the prosecution of Siegelman in hearings last year before the House Judiciary Committee on which he sits, had some interesting things to say about the how the now imprisoned ex-governor's case went down. He also said he has been interviewed by "60 Minutes" and took a shot at the coverage given to Siegelman by the Birmingham media.

happening. Why no back up? Why not BELIEVE their Democratic GOVERNOR had his election stolen BLATANTLY?

By backing up charges of election fraud by Siegelman, the DNC would have upset the RNC's plan for 2004.

So....why DIDN'T they?

Isn't much of what the US attorney firings is about concerns for directing attention TOWARDS Dem election theft in order to distract from the institutionalized election fraud of the RNC's tactics?

The Rs abused the power of office from a position of complete control, until election 2006 surprised them! Now, something can be done, and you see how difficult even that is still, because they are still in the positions of power, President, AG, USAs, .... all of Justice in America top-down!

in uncovering the rampant election fraud that was directed at past Dem candidates. That wouldn't be helpful for THEIR gameplans.
