An anthology of political corruption, character assassination, and persecution of innocents will be on display this coming Sunday on 60 Minutes.
The US Dept of Justice and the White House corruptly conspired to prosecute and convict a former democratic governor, Don Siegelman, because Siegelman was a political threat to the GOP in Alabama.
Banana republic? No, America under George W. Bush.
Much of the Siegelman affair, just one case of many politcal prosecutions, has been broken and advanced by Scott Horton of Harper's magazine and Talking Points Memo.
From ThinkProgress:
Sunday, CBS’s 60 Minutes will air its long-awaited report on the Bush administration’s political persecution of Alabama’s incarcerated former governor Don Siegelman.
See Horton's Justice in Alabama.
