From the interview:
"I think this will make Watergate look like child's play when it is fully investigated, not so much this case because certainly it's not about me. It's about restoring justice and protecting our democracy and, because this case shows the lengths to which those who are obsessed with power will go in order to gain power or retain power, it has attracted the attention of the national press."
Someone needs to explain to me how the story of Don Siegelman isn't a canary in the coal mine as far as the very existence of our democracy is concerned. I hope everybody who reads this story familiarizes themselves with the work of Naomi Wolf regarding the closing down of a free society, to be sure I'll post some links and videos below. As someone who's tirelessly researched the steps political groups take when approaching authoritarian control, I'm sure this story has Ms. Wolf's attention.

One more link for anyone looking to learn more about the Don Siegelman story.
I also think it serves to remind people that in light of stories like this, how can we ever trust that an investigation against a Democrat is initiated on its merits?

Watch at least the first 10 minutes of this and I doubt you won't be able to not watch the remaining 20.
