It was a good issue - you could try http://www.private-eye.co.uk/

It might not have been sold out - could have been never stocked possibly

Andy Coulson was cleared for work at No 10 Downing Street last year after an investigator who had also done work for News International (NI) carried out his vetting, the IoS can reveal.
Mr Coulson, David Cameron's media chief, who resigned in January as the phone-hacking scandal developed, was scrutinised by an experienced investigator with strong links to both the Security Services and to the newspaper group that owned the News of the World, which Mr Coulson had previously edited.

Already read about him somewhere else.Personally I think that if we could find the right people and the leverage we would find that it probably went further back than the 90s.

Yes l suspect you are right and the question is once we have had these inquirys and possible criminal convictions will the hacking still continue secretly by unscrupulous journalists and some newspaper proprietors.

While defending his company as it faces accusations of widespread phone hacking in Britain, Rupert Murdoch insisted on Wednesday that he had the backing of News Corporation’s board and would stay on as its chief executive for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, his company reported a drop in fourth-quarter profit but a gain for the year.
Hmmm!

James Murdoch is likely to be recalled to give evidence to MPs after a letter was published claiming phone hacking was "widely discussed" at the News Of The World.

Quote:

A high-profile parliamentary panel investigating phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World tabloid released embarrassing new evidence Tuesday that the practice of intercepting voice mail had been widely discussed at the newspaper, contradicting assertions by its owners and editors.
Quote:

The newest allegations are contained in a four-year-old letter released for the first time from Clive Goodman, the News of the World’s former royal correspondent who served a jail term for hacking the mobile phones of members of the royal family, to a senior human resources executive who had informed him that he was being dismissed.
Quote:

In addition to the Goodman letter, the parliamentary panel also released a letter from Harbottle & Lewis, a law firm hired by the Murdochs, which they have repeatedly cited as having given the News of the World a “clean bill of health” in reviewing a cache of e-mails in 2007. The letter contradicts that assertion and says that its own investigation had been limited strictly to advising the company in its employment dispute with Mr. Goodman.
Trussed and stuffed.:)

Hmmm, if that letter proves to be the real deal, I fear that News Corp may be kind of stuffed...
