What Cameron's been asked to apologise for is irrelevent to my point. Cameron's made an error the scale of which depends on what, if anything, Coulson is eventually proved to be guilty of.

Milliband's persual of brownie points with respect to Murdoch and the NOTW, however, would have a lot more kudos if it came from someone who wasn't a key figure in the govt. which spent years cultivating their own self serving relationship with those organisations and 'mysteriously' failed to follow up many of the issues which have now started to come to a head. That'd be his/their role in this and I for one would like it fully examined.

If Cameron's main mistake was taking a friend's word at face value that's one thing but IMHO it represents a very minor aspect of a very serious affair which stinks from top to bottom and implicates many other people far more than it does Cameron.
