This week 60 Minutes on Channel 2 is featuring a story it really does not want you to pay much attention to...the fact that any American can wrongly wind up in jail because of party affiliation.
Don Sigelman former Governor of Alabama is in jail because he is a democrat. He has been caught up in the politicization of the justice department under Bush. Karl Rove could not get rid of him and wanted a republican in the Governor's office and Siegelman was a threat so he created false charges and had a zealous republican Cronie district Attorney try him in Federal Court. Siegelman was tried and convicted on trumped up charges and received a very harsh sentence which he is still serving. In addition he is not able to meet with the press. 60 Minutes is not highlighting this investigation they are highlighting instead a story about honeybees.
To me this is a MUST SEE story; If a governor of a state could be wrongly tried and convicted and be held almost incommunicado as he serves his sentence,all Americans are in danger.
