"News of the World Reporters Probably Tried to Hack 9/11 Victims’ Phones, Too"

From Gawker: And now for some news that probably won't shock you: According to a report in the Daily Mirror today, reporters from Rupert Murdoch's News of the World asked a former NYPD officer who was working as a private investigator to access the phone records of British 9/11 victims. The Mirror's anonymous source claims that:

"This investigator is used by a lot of journalists in America and he recently told me that he was asked to hack into the 9/11 victims' private phone data. He said that the journalists asked him to access records showing the calls that had been made to and from the mobile phones belonging to the victims and their ­relatives.

"His presumption was that they wanted the information so they could hack into the relevant voicemails, just like it has been shown they have done in the UK. The PI said he had to turn the job down. He knew how insensitive such research would be, and how bad it would look.

_______

Ladies and Gentleman... this is the event that will "wake the sleeping giant". State-fair attending, right-leaning America is about to become disgusted with the media that they have been protecting.

Have you ever seen one of those movies of the Amazon where they dip a dead goat into the water and there is a feeding frenzy? When proof hits that 9/11 victims were hacked (and I mean the victims...News of the World was hacking the phone of a DEAD GIRL just to hear what sad messages here friends were leaving in honor of their missing friend) we are going to see a feeding frenzy. In this case though, FOX News and Rupert Murdoch will be the goats.

1. Snoutport, thanks for all the breaking news updates.
I've been enjoying every minute of reading what's been happening, both here and at The Guardian.

Cameron must be sweating bullets right about now. :D
