Murdoch update.

Pressure on Murdochs Mounts in Hacking Scandal
nytimes.com

A local sideshow in Scotland. The Tommy Sheridan trial reopened. Very high profile and most people thought (assumed) that Sheridan was just plain guilty and needed jailing.

Who knows now though?

guardian.co.uk

Just like the Bushes and the Larouche organization, Sheridan and Coulson look as if they were made for each other -g-

news.stv.tv

Up to 100 police officers will be working on this one case alone in Scotland. Unbelievable!

/snippet.
"Over two million pounds has been spent by the police in investigating Mr and Mrs Sheridan and we were told it was in the public interest. I expect to see a similar ruthlessness and determination in dealing with the News of the World."
/end snippet.

This is a Glasgow issue and I suspect it's going to get brutal.

This could go very badly for the police and politicians generally. Coulson has dug himself into a very deep hole. All will blame the News International, and visa versa.

There is no honour amongst crooks.

stigler got the noble in econ for the answer...regulatory capture:

"...Stigler is best known for developing the Economic Theory of Regulation, also known as capture, which says that interest groups and other political participants will use the regulatory and coercive powers of government to shape laws and regulations in a way that is beneficial to them. This theory is a component of the public choice field of economics..."
