NY Times Calls On Congress to Investigate
In part because “the United States attorneys scandal has made clear that partisan politics is a driving force in the Bush Justice Department,” The New York Times is calling this morning for a Congressional investigation into the Siegelman conviction.
Congress, though, should not wait. It should insist that Mr. Canary and everyone on the 2002 call, as well as Mrs. Canary and Mr. Rove, testify about the Siegelman prosecution. In standing by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales throughout the attorneys scandal, the Bush administration has made clear that it does not care about the integrity of the Justice Department. By investigating Mr. Siegelman’s case, Congress can show that it does.
