MONTGOMERY -- Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman said he hopes the U.S. House Judiciary Committee will aggressively question former White House aide Karl Rove, who has agreed to testify about possibly influencing his prosecution.

But Siegelman, a Democrat who was convicted in a government corruption probe, also wants the panel to seek sworn testimony from another Republican political operative, Bill Canary, the husband of the U.S. attorney whose office prosecuted him.

In an e-mail to supporters and news reporters, Siegelman commended the committee for securing Rove's agreement to testify under oath. He said he hopes its investigation doesn't end with Rove.

"As much as this is an important breakthrough toward the truth, we must remember there are others, for example, the husband of the U S Attorney who prosecuted me ... who must also be called before Congress to answer for his part in my prosecution," Siegelman said.

2. We are with you Gov. Don Siegelman.

We are counting on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee to aggressively question former White House aide Karl Rove. Hopefully this brings about the turning point toward getting at the vision behind the judicial politicization.

3. Does anybody *really* think that arrogant prick will give up anything?

He wouldn't have agreed to testify if he had. He's just going to play the panel and try to make suckers out of them. He's certainly not going to cough up any testimony that is damaging to himself.

4. I don't -- he thinks his future is secure as an MSM talking head

Congress needs to hold his feet to the fire and make him see his future is in a 4 by 6 cell.

5. Mr. President... One more waterboarding. Just for old time's sake.

We won't complain. I promise.
