I innermurk would like to reply:
Do we know that Fudge convicted Sirius? I thought he wasn't yet 
Minister of Magic when that happened. In GOF we find out Bartemius 
Crouch (who is the one Sirius said put him in Azkaban without a 
trial) was slated to become the next MoM, but then got shunted aside 
and Fudge was the one who was elected. This was after the trial of 
his son, which happened AFTER Sirius was put in prison. So, I've 
always thought we didn't know who the MoM of the time was.
Even so, it was Crouch who put Sirius away, and authorized all those 
Unforgivables to be used and etc....
Not that that excuses Fudge for his actions now, but he was hardly 
responsible for what happened to Sirius earlier.
