The secret dossier of lawbreaking that spells trouble for Rupert Murdoch...and David Cameron

[Joanne98]

The News of the World paid a private detective to provide hundreds of pieces of confidential information, often using illegal means, a confidential document obtained by The Independent on Sunday has revealed.

The "Blue Book", a ledger of work carried out by Steve Whittamore for News International titles, including the NoW and The Sunday Times, details a series of transactions including obtaining ex-directory phone numbers, telephone accounts, criminal records checks and withheld mobile numbers. It reveals the itemised details of checks on public figures, including Peter Mandelson, ordered and paid for – at up to £750 a time – by reporters working for the redtop. Staff from a number of other national newspapers made similar requests, and their details are contained in further dossiers held by the Information Commissioner, the privacy watchdog.

Among the journalists requesting information from Mr Whittamore, who was later convicted of offences committed under the Data Protection Act, was the former NoW editor Rebekah Wade, now Rebekah Brooks.

The contents of the dossier were collated by the Information Commissioner following a raid on Mr Whittamore's Hampshire office in 2003, but the watchdog has previously refused to disclose its contents, to protect the identities of the people named within it.

A Newscorp spy ring?

1. Murdoch should enjoy a room with a view

the view consisting of vertical iron bars.

2. murdock like bush and karl rove and cheney, is above the law.

I don't expect anything to come out of this other than maybe he will pay a fine.

3. It means there must be two types of brains living on this earth.

When I think about the Kissingers and the Norquists and the Cheneys and Rices and all the Bushes and the Robertsons, plus a general class of race and gender haters and the World Bank and IMF and Tri-Lateral and Council on Foreign Nations - I see a subjugation of any brain activity to reactions of inequality. This article doesn't relate to them. That part of the brain has to be dead - or - these horrors come from a totally different gene ancestry that wasn't tested.

I have had negative reactions to statements helf and stated by Libertarians. They are prone to say Too Bad about inequalities. They continually make statements about how simple it is to pick yourself up and take care of yourself like they do. I know there is a big difference between them and me. I cringe when I hear them harnague about anyone who receives government money.

I would really like that study to be amplified around today's politics. I don't think those teabaggers have that capability (unless they insulate themselves and limit the reactions that were tested to their own Christian Teabaggers members. How can someone in that Party hate an entire segmen tof humanity, specifically all 'Mexcuns' and 'Moselems' and hate them as much as they do. There mind set works in reverse.

They have no hesitancy in showing they're loathing related to these two groups and they verbalize their exact positions about Mexicans getting too much and insinuating that they are stealing from us and never applying logic that accepts that it is our Chamber of Commerces members and the large corporations who wanted and still want the Mexicans here. It's like like a migrating factory in pices of humanity who are making them more weathly then using mere Americans who are worthless in their eyes.

It is not a matter of whether that area of the brain is missing, it's a matter of how did it get turned off.

4. Just as with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Reagan, Delay, etc.

we will sadly never get to see just how deep Murdoch's evil is. Luckily for me I have never met anyone as depraved and sociopathic as they are. It is breathtaking that none of them has been called to account by a real patriot
