The Met Police are accused of a "catalogue of failures" over the News of the World phone-hacking inquiry in a damning report by MPs.

The Commons home affairs committee also criticises News International's "deliberate attempts to thwart investigations" into hacking.

It is calling for extra resources for the police investigation so new hacking victims can be informed more quickly.

2. It's like he wanted to control the govt or something...

and it appears a lot of worthless assholes were in place to piss all over the law for bribes and who knows what else. He was probably handing out free hookers to key employees at the Justice Department during the GWB years (while secretly taping them for future blackmail use).
