Cameron’s Former Aide Arrested
 

British Leader Orders Hacking Inquiries!

LONDON — British police arrested a former editor of The News of the World tabloid on Friday who had also been a senior aide to Prime Minister David Cameron, deepening the crisis swirling around Rupert Murdoch’s news empire over allegations of phone hacking and corruption.

Struggling to contain the biggest scandal since he took office more than a year ago, Mr. Cameron announced two separate inquiries into the revelations, saying “no stone will be left unturned.”

In a statement, Scotland Yard said Andy Coulson, Mr. Cameron’s former director of communications, had been interviewed at a police station in south London and was “currently in custody.”

While his arrest had been expected, it brought a new dimension to the scandal, turning it from one of claim and counter-claim to a question of criminal charges.

A police statement said the former editor had been arrested “on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications” and “on suspicion of corruption allegations.” It said he had been interviewed by officers investigating illegal payments to corrupt police officers and phone hacking.

The arrest came as Mr. Cameron scrambled desperately to contain the fallout from scandal and focus public attention on measures being taken to investigate it. But it was certain to draw renewed taunts by Mr. Cameron’s critics that he showed flawed judgment in hiring Mr. Coulson in 2007. In the past, the prime minister has always vouched for Mr. Coulson’s integrity and said he believed Mr. Coulson’s assurances that he had done nothing wrong.

Can't honestly remember the last time I looked at The Sun :hmmm:

Translation...

Another useless crass Inquiries running up a bill well in to the thousands of pounds to produce reports only fit to be a door stops.

Nothing will change!

Other Inquiries in the pass have shown us that!

Somebody lower down the tree will get some blame, a slap on the wrist and then back to business as usual. SOP really.

Anyone reckon The Sun won't turn into a seven day publication?

Very likely IMHO. Someone will pick up the slack somewhere.

An embattled Rupert Murdoch attempts damage control
 

Until recently viewed as an 'uncrowned king' of Britain, Rupert Murdoch now finds himself vulnerable and his business empire endangered as politicians once too afraid to criticize him now take square aim at the media mogul weakened by the phone hacking scandal.

This has probably done immense damage to his attempt to take over BSkyB.

Murdoch is a very dirty word. :nope:

the best any of can do these days is disern truth from lies, the path of truth is narrow and getting narrower by the day.

Like Cameron,:O:
