One is almost left speechless with each new revelation about the miscreant behaviour of those in the Murdoch newspaper world. The widespread illegal nature of it all is one thing...but the total barrenness of any morality or decency in what was being down is breathtaking.
Just reflect on what The Guardian reports as the nature and extent of information garnered, over 1o years mind you, about the former British PM, Gordon Brown:
"Brown was targeted during a period of more than 10 years, both as chancellor of the exchequer and as prime minister. Some of the activity clearly was illegal. Other incidents breached his privacy but not the law. An investigation by the Guardian has found that:
• Scotland Yard has discovered references to Brown and his wife, Sarah, in paperwork seized from Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator who specialised in phone hacking for the News of the World.
• Abbey National bank found evidence suggesting that a "blagger" acting for the Sunday Times on six occasions posed as Brown and gained details from his account.
• London lawyers Allen & Overy were tricked into handing over details from his file by a conman working for the Sunday Times.
• Details from his infant son's medical records were obtained by the Sun, who published a story about the child's serious illness."
