Reply #37: And Congress is working on it...

but White House politicking is not necessarily sufficient reason for an internal investigation. There are few cases where the judgment of the prosecutors can't be questioned, but they have the authority to proceed on the cases as they see fit. If all such cases were up for review, they wouldn't be doing anything else.

Those 44 prosecutors were mainly up in arms over the sentencing, which was excessive but within permissable guidelines. Nothing like manufacturing or hiding evidence has been seriously charged. And Siegelman's appeal is going fine, with him out on bail, too. It's too bad he has to go through this, but unless the entire system is changed, all of us are at risk of it.

(How about the thousands in prison now on lesser charges with longer sentences, and who may be innocent after all?)
