Riley going to Washington to discuss potential political fallout is not evidence of a conspiracy; it's smart politics. All this hand-wringing and pearl-clutching are starting to get amusing. These people are politicians. Why should we be surprised if they're trying to control the spin on this story? The nasty tone of the Riley staff's rebuttal smacks of protesting too much. It would be nice if they'd just say yep, that's what we're doing -- so what? -- but I'm not holding my breath. Why would they make it up?

I can think of two current inmates in Atlanta who have a reason. No reason to make it up? I can think of two current inmates in Atlanta who have a reason.

Except the one about Harper's and some commenter here conspiring to make up a story that no one would have any reason to make up. That he can believe.

It might be better to be clearer about what you’re implying in the future though. Harper’s is certainly a reliable source, but they have gone a little overboard with the Siegelman situation and are stepping beyond the bounds of sound journalism in some instances.
