U.W. Clemon on Siegelman

Retired Federal Judge U.W. Clemon wants the U.S. Attorney General to investigate the prosecution of Don Siegelman, just as a group of 75 former U.S. Attorneys does. It appears The Daily Kos was first with the story, and the web report has all the background (including, obviously, Clemon's dealings with a previous federal prosecution of Siegelman that landed in his courtroom and ended with the charges being dismissed.) Sieglelman is free on bond as he awaits a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on his appeal. [UPDATE: Also read Scott Horton in Harper's on the same subject.]
