That is what is needed now:

Attorneys for imprisoned former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman on Monday called for a special prosecutor after a key government witness claimed that he was forced to write out his testimony to get his story straight.

Vince Kilborn, an attorney for Siegelman who contends Republican politics was behind the Democrat’s prosecution, said the defense was never told of any written notes by Nick Bailey, a former Siegelman aide whose testimony was crucial to the government.

CBS’s “60 Minutes” reported Sunday that Bailey said prosecutors met with him some 70 times and had him repeatedly write out his testimony because they were frustrated with his recollection of events.

Also Rove is denying all this and saying that 60 Minutes never even contacted him. Amazing how the media never does anything right anymore. It’s also amazing how great our economy is doing and how many Iraqis are showering our troops with candy and flowers.
