Great video by Dan Abrams and analysis with Rep. Artur Davis and Scott Horton.
Legal Schnauzer (h/t Scarce) brings up a point that should convince you of the power of the larger blogging community and grassroots efforts to effect change:
Siegelman’s release is a testament to the power of alternative media. Without the work of blogger/journalists like Scott Horton of Harper’s, Glynn Wilson of Locust Fork News, and Larisa Alexandrovna of at-Largely/Raw Story/Huffington Post/Hustler, Siegelman would have little hope of being released any time soon. Without the work of Pam Miles and her e-mail listees, Siegelman would have remained in prison for the foreseeable future. It’s impossible to overstate the impact of CBS and its 60 Minutes story on the Siegelman case. But that “old media” story would not have happened without the work of folks working in the “new media.”
Here is the video:

This is the best MSNBC has in Dan Abrams. I was so tired of Tweety and his campaign for Republicans. Now Abrams impressed me with his help for Gov. Siegelman and I know the Governor will give Dan and interview. This show is great and he is a good teacher because I really didn't even know he was a lawyer. No legal words just common words that all can understand.
Mr. Kitty if you get some free time from running after rabbits take a look at the show. If you don't have cable go on your computer it shows on there.
