My mom has not fallen for the dismissal of the story a la Fox and is actually going to watch the Parliamentary hearing, even if she has to go to C-SPAN. I really hope this is her big Helen Keller moment with this shit. OTOH: "Who's the redhead? Is sex involved?"

i mean just in the last 24 hours there's been
- the supposed suicide of a key whistleblower- a mysterious bag with computer and files in it found near rebekah brooks' house- hackers who claim to have snaffled all NOTW and the Sun's emails
in the 24 hrs before that there was rebekah brooks' arrest and the chief of scotland yard's resignation. this is starting to make "house of cards" look unimaginative

suicide or murder aren't the only options! he had a long history of heavy drinking and drug use and nick davies recounted this:
In the end, his body would not take it any more. He said he started to have fits, that his liver was in such a terrible state that a doctor told him he must be dead.
quite prepared to believe he was murdered, especially as the news of the world private detective jonathan rees, who was accused of killing a guy with an axe, is still at large, but there are reasons to believe this guy was ready to go at any time.
― joe, Monday, 18 July 2011 23:14 (twelve years ago) link
