Siegelman hit with travel restrictions
 WASHINGTON - Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman has been barred from traveling without getting prior approval.
Siegelman tells The Associated Press that he was informed by his probation officer Tuesday afternoon that he was being classified as a special offender for travel purposes.
The classification means he must get approval from the judge overseeing his case and from the district where he seeks to travel.
The Democrat was sentenced to more than seven years in prison on corruption charges and was recently released pending his appeal.
