Thanks for the article. It gave me some ammo for the arses who call us sheilas as if we are a thing for their personal pleasure.

Clive Goodman, the former royal reporter jailed for his role in phone hacking, wrote a letter in 2007 claiming that phone hacking was “widely discussed” at editorial meetings, and that former editor Andy Coulson offered to let him keep his job if he agreed to say in court that he was a rogue element within the paper.

The claims are deeply damaging to Coulson, who has always maintained that he did not know about the hacking going on at his paper.

They are also politically perilous for British Prime Minister David Cameron, who took Coulson on even as evidence mounted against him.

(Labour leader Ed Miliband immediately pounced upon the release of Goodman’s letter, saying Cameron had shown “catastrophic” judgment in hiring Coulson.)

Moreover, they raise fresh danger for James Murdoch, who claimed to Parliament that he did not know hacking at the paper was widespread until 2010.

Goodman’s letter was one of several documents published by a parliamentary committee on Tuesday afternoon.

Before the documents were released, the select committee for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport announced that it is “likely” to recall James Murdoch when Parliament resumes in September.

It later said that it has called Daniel Cloke, the former human resources chief at News International, and Jon Chapman, the former head of legal affairs there, to a Sept. 6 hearing.

The News of the World’s former top lawyer, Tom Crone, and former editor Colin Myler are also being called before the committee.

Goodman’s letter is from March 2, 2007, after he was released from prison. In the letter, Goodman says he is appealing his firing from the News of the World specifically because he carried out his duties with the “full knowledge and support” of top journalists on the paper, and because the practice was so widespread at the paper.

The letter claims that hacking was so frequently talked about that Coulson—who went on to become David Cameron’s top spin doctor—eventually was forced to ban mention of the practice.

Goodman also says that he was repeatedly promised to be kept on, even after he was arrested. He further claims that the paper continued to pay and consult him on stories, even after it was known that he would plead guilty.

Global Warming Fun.

NO. 9.

At the first hint of a fall chill, run around in terror near your liberal friends, tearing at your hair and shouting “Aiieeee! Aiiieee! It comes, it comes.

The great ice age comes!” Then apologize, slap your forehead, and say: “Wait. My mistake. The ice age was the thing all your gurus were predicting in the 1970s.

You’ve changed your minds now, right? All this increasingly cold weather we’re getting—it’s a sign of, er, global warming, yeah?”
========REBUTTAL========

This shows how easy it is to dupe the ignorant. Here this works because those that hear this crap don’t know how Global Warming works.

They think it mean the weather will be hotter everywhere. These liars know that their followers think that so they use this type of deception to appeal to their ignorance.

Sorry Robert, I got on their mailing list so I could join you in your rebuttals. I love the fun.

Here’s another reason why having an OTW President is disturbing to you racist bastards.

The other 43 white Presidents were content with allowing white boys who got busted for cocaine possession getting a pass because they could afford the powered form of the drug and the sentencing on the books was that it carried ten years less of a penalty than getting caught with the cheaper form of the same drug, crack cocaine.

So a white boy could get no more that a year or two, while an OTW caught with the same or less amount of cocaine in the form of crack could get 10 to 20 years for possession.

Just-Us justice and Affirmative Action all wrapped up into one. That was okay for every US President except Obama. Now you white bastards can get equal time.

Of course, you may not but at least the overall mandatory sentencing has been lowered because you don’t want to have your asses or your kids exposed to 10 to 20 years for simple possession of cocaine.

Interesting how all that compassion came about once an OTW President forced the justice system to treat all races the same on the books.

Yeah, I know it is about his birth certificate.
