Hard News: The scandal that keeps on giving, in reply to Russell Brown,
I'd suggest you'll be interested in the Commons select committee hearing that Brooks and the two Murdochs are about to appear before. It's live on Sky News tonight from 11.30pm. Yowza.
Unfortunately the headliners - Murdochs Sr and Jr and Rebekah Brooks - aren't scheduled to appear until the afternoon session, it says here - ie from 1.30am NZT

Credit to Sky for broadcasting the comte hearing - unlike its comedy stablemate in the US, Sky News UK has by most accounts been doing a thorough job on hacking (and gave it more play, from memory, in the days when no one wanted to know, than the Times and, sometimes, the BBC).
p.s. Heather Brooke not Brookes -

WikiLeaks imply that the NYT/NPR/Guardian source is Domscheit-Berg. As others pointed out yesterday, there's a rather desperate irony in the sight of WikiLeaks, the great defenders of source anonymity, outing a source - and without offering any evidence, to boot.

London people who like helping and laughing at the same time should think very seriously about going to this event - there are some top people involved and I hear rumours of a surprise or two. And very splendid raffleage.
