Strange - the Guardian seems to think that investigating one alleged criminal act (interception of communications) is a good thing, and investigating another (obtaining confidential information from a Police Officer) is attacking Press freedom.

This is the problem..How to protect the freedom of the press to do investigative journalism whilst protecting the privacy of individuals..

The answer IMHO is a neutral body to oversee the press but with actual real teeth and powers to enforce the rules which should be clear and not subject to interpretation..

Quote:

lawyer for Natalie Rowe, the former boss of an escort agency, has suggested that Mr Coulson's treatment of the story may have been linked to his subsequent appointment as David Cameron's communications chief.
I suggest that if this story had any more caveats and "'"s, it may be difficult to separate fact from supposition.

It would appear to be the modus operandi of much of the media these days and it's hardly surprising when people swallow everything they read or are told..and repeat it.;)
