SocraticGadfly: Could Murdoch hack US lawmaker info too?

Could Murdoch hack US lawmaker info too?

Rupert Murdoch’s British newspapers have paid more than £1 million in fines for a variety of illegal hacking operations into the private data of British public officials, including cell phone accounts, tax records, bank statements and more.

And, considering that a former Conservative Party PR chief, who moved to Murdoch’s British news empire, was behind much of this, you have to think twice before saying it couldn’t happen here.

Picture if the often thrown-off WSJ op-ed page did something similar.
