Debacle? I personally think it's rather important that we at least find out how "friendly" the Murdochs were with various members of various governments.

A BBC journalist said Wednesday that the former tabloid newspaper editor Piers Morgan showed him how to hack into phones 10 years ago.
I think Jeremy Paxman enjoyed that.
He probably did..

Actually, I remember reading in Private Eye a while back how Piers Morgan (who was in the process of claiming he wasn't involved in hacking) had talked about things in his autobiography that it is unlikely he would have found out any other way, and even talked a little about how they did it. They even listed page numbers.
