Subject: Important 60 Minutes Show, Feb. 24th

Hi, all...
Please watch 60 Minutes this Sunday, feb 24th, to see the important
piece on former Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman.  (If you're going to
watch the Academy Awards, then please record the 60 Minutes show so
you can see it later.)  And pass this on to everyone!

Thumbnail sketch:  Siegelman is pretty much a political
prisoner...both Dems and Repubs question the charges & trial...the
judge won't release transcripts of his trial, so he can't appeal (the
trial was at least a year ago)...he's being moved from place to place
to make it difficult to contact him...this 60 Minutes piece has been
sitting on the shelf due to White House pressure , and now that it's
airing, it's being broadcast at the same time as  the Academy
Awards.  This story involves  election fraud, Karl Rove, the Federal
U.S. Attorney  scandal and so on.

Congressman Conyers' House Judiciary Committee is investigating the
case;  the story has been covered on  www.Bradblog.com  and Peter B.
Collins talk show (he interviewed Siegelman's daughter a few weeks
ago), and extensively by Larisa Alexandrovna on www.Rawstory.com
(she's also talked about the case on Peter's show).
