Murdoch, Blair and The Phone Hacking Scandal

In December 2005 the French newspapers were awash with stories to the effect that Chirac had contacted Tony Blair and complained that GCHQ were listening to French mobile phones and passing the information to their masters in the CIA who were then passing confidential commercial information to US companies to their commercial advantage. Le Monde, Le Figaro and Le Canard Enchaine reported that Chirac had informed Blair of his views and the words reported were 'neither kind nor diplomatic' (Le Monde).Now suddenly we know that around the same period the Metropolitan Police were pulled off investigating the Murdoch organiation's mobile phone hacking. We are not conspiracy theorists on this site, but this stinks to heaven. Rebekka Wade is up to her arse in it too. The propostion that the hacking was all down to one individual would be an insult even to the intelligence of the average Met bobby on the beat.
