During a 5-minute interview with NPR's Renee Montagne this morning, Juan Williams alludes to the Jackson Free Press' award-winning investigation leading up to James Ford Seale's conviction last June. The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Seale's conviction on federal kidnapping charges on Sept. 9, citing that the statute of limitations had already run out.

I am not a big fan of Juan at all but he provided fair (logical) reporting in this case.

Ha, I'm not wild about Juan myself, but I do have to say - about damn time, and thank you, Juan. Even a broken clock is right a couple of times a day. This whole thing has been, shall we say, instructional and educational. I hope the feds can come up with a good reply to the appeal, it makes me feel a bit ill to know that Seale may be getting out.
