Troubled Ex-campaign worker gives affidavit that reveals political
dirty tricks and Rove as puppet-master in Don Siegelman
prosecution.

Lawyer Links Rove to Ala. Investigation

Rove, one of President Bush's closest aides, has been at the center
of turmoil over allegations that the White House has politicized
federal investigations. In November 2002 - when Simpson says Rove
was mentioned as playing a part in the case - Siegelman, a
Democrat, was seeking a recount after narrowly losing to Riley.
Simpson said in the affidavit that Republican operative Bill Canary
told her and others in a telephone conference call that he had
spoken with Rove, referred to in the document as ``Karl,'' and had
been assured the Justice Department was pursuing Siegelman.
Simpson said that Riley's son, Rob Riley, asked about Siegelman
being a problem in the future, and that Canary said ``not to worry
about Don Siegelman that 'his girls would take care of him.'''
The affidavit says Canary identified ``his girls'' as his wife, Leura
Canary, the U.S. attorney in Montgomery; and Alice Martin, the U.S.
attorney in Birmingham.
