Mr Brooks said he had been used as a "scapegoat" to "ratchet up the pressure" on his wife, who he claimed was the victim of a "witch-hunt".
Mrs Brooks was editor of the News of the World (NoW) when voicemails on murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's mobile phone were allegedly intercepted.
I am waiting for the complaints that her privacy has been invaded.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a witch-hunt is just a witch-hunt.
ReplyDeleteCan't be arsed looking up the records to see whether Brooks was editing News of the World back when they instigated a campaign against anyone with a sex offense on their record (the one that resulted in attacks on pediatricians).
ReplyDeleteIIRC it was Brooks' successor Coulson who introduced the phrase "privacy is for pedophiles". And, apparently, ex-NotW editors.
