1. The Don Seigelman[sic] Travesty: How
Neocons Corrupted the Justice System
The Populist Daily

I think anyone would agree that if a former Governor of a state, one
who is running for a return to office and is ahead in the voting is
falsely indicted by the local U.S. Attorney for the opposite political
party, it is a very significant issue.

If a governor can be indicted on false charges, convicted, and sent to
prison for years, then how safe are you?

This is exactly what happened in Alabama, and it has repercussions
throughout society. We have to say “in our opinion” because these
guys were good at their pseudo-Nazi tactics and Seigelman did do
what they said. But was it criminal?

2. Gambling Task Force Raids Victoryland,
Country Crossing
by Glynn Wilson for Locust Fork Journal

Bob Riley’s war on gambling reached a bizarre climax early this
morning when the Alabama Governor’s anti-gambling task force
dispatched more than 100 state troopers to raid computer gaming
centers at the Victoryland Dogtrack in Shorter, Alabama, and Country
Crossing in Dothan near the Florida state line.

According to early morning television news reports, the line of state
troopers “was more than a mile long,” but they were stopped at the
gates of the country music entertainment compound in Dothan when
they failed to produce a search warrant.

Today’s raid is just the latest in the gambling wars in the state that
made national news recently when Alabama’s godfather of legal
gambling, Milton McGregor, was accused of crossing a legal line when
he hired a private detective to follow former task force leader David
Barber to an Indian casino in Mississippi, where Barber was spotted
winning $2,300.

More than 30 Alabama State troopers left Country Crossing Friday
morning, thought as many as 40 or 50 troopers remain, after arriving
around 4 a.m. Friday morning for an apparent raid of the electronic
bingo pavilion.
