I have been watching this delicious scandal developing week by week, day by day and recently hour by hour, and I never expected this. Wow. There must be a lot of skeletons in the cupboard if this was murdoch's choice of preemptive action against the upcoming judicial enquiry.

Edit: thinking about it, the enquiry will go ahead regardless. This is more to do with protecting rebekah brooks and the sky merger. He must really like brooks.
