"A victory for the blogosphere"

-- headline at Politico.

Thanks to the persistence of progressive blogs and "60 Minutes," a fascinating story now will be scrutinized everywhere:

The House Judiciary Committee has asked the Justice Department to temporarily release former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman from prison to testify before Congress in early May about possible political influence over his prosecution.

Acting U.S. Attorney Louis Franklin confirms the 11th Circuit granted Siegelman’s release in a four-page order which states Siegelman had raised a “significant question” about his conviction.

He'll be released sometime today. Sweet.
