It's about time. It's a shame it took something at this level to make everyone realise that they were scum.

Supposedly the Queen and the 9/11 families were subjected to this too. The 9/11 families sounds more something an American News Corp group would have been involved in -- why would News of the World do this?

If true, however, I think drawing and quartering those involved would be being too nice to them.

NoW was/is owned by news international. I rather suspect that the knowledge and complicity in this is far higher than mr murdoch is admitting.

All I hope is that Murdoch himself would go down in flames over this.
