P.S. Artur Davis and the new Siegelman hearing
Mary Orndorff - March 28, 2008 - http://blog.al.com/sweethome/2008/03/ps_artur_davis_and_the_siegelm.html

.... there is still a lot we don't know about what the committee Democrats have in mind for event: exact date, the list of witnesses other than Siegelman, and what prompted the committee's aggressive push to arrange for the then-inmate's trip to Washington.

Turned out Rep. Artur Davis didn't know either, based on his interview with reporters yesterday ....
"The committee did not inform or seek input from me," Davis said, a point he reiterated several times in response to questions about the committee's agenda. Had they asked, Davis said he would have recommended instead calling former White House political adviser Karl Rove to the witness table.

"If Karl Rove influenced that decision (to prosecute Siegelman) then that's a very serious thing," Davis said. "The committee should hone in on that question."
