Probably like many others I’ve been amazed to see the speed and scope of the scandal which has already destroyed The News of the World and threatens to engulf Rupert Murdoch’s entire global News Corp. empire. Today, if you hadn’t heard already, that former PM Gordon Brown was also a target and that other Murdoch papers in the UK (The Sun and The Sunday Times) also participated in these illegal practices.
Now though there are reports that at least The News of the World used its phone hacking practices against American 9/11 victims, which would for the first time give the scandal a clear nexus into the United States. CREW is now calling for an immediate congressional investigation.
