BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman has
asked the Colorado delegation to the Democratic National Convention
to help him persuade Congress to hold former presidential aide Karl
Rove in contempt.
Siegelman wants Rove held in contempt for refusing to testify
before a House committee that's investigating the former Alabama
governor's bribery and mail fraud conviction.
Siegelman spoke to a breakfast meeting of the Colorado
delegation Monday and the Birmingham News reported the appearance
in a story on its Web site.
The former governor was convicted in 2006 in a government
corruption case. He has charged that Rove pushed the Justice
Department to investigate him to derail Siegelman's effort to win a
second term in office.
