re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
There is no limit to how far these people will go to get information to try and destroy people's lives and with that in mind is it any wonder anyone is hesitant about taking them on. I think calling for this or that political leader to explain or be accountable should wait till as much as we can know is known. I have a nasty feeling very few high ranking politicians are going to come out of involvement with rupert murdoch for certainly the last twenty years cleanly.
What is becoming clear is this wasn't one paper or one rogue pi it was endemic it was seen as an ok way to get information regardless of the law and that has to be fully investigated and people prosecuted. Sadly i think we have only scratched the tip of a very large iceberg here there is so much more to come out so many more victims and it is for those i have true sympathy and feelings at this time.
Political axe grinding will come later no worries about that but right now i think the focus needs to be on the victims of this, be they the ones who were hacked or the sacrificial lambs to be slaughtered hoping to put this to bed of which NOTW were the first but i doubt the last.
