The publisher of the News of the World has found "many tens of thousands" of new documents and emails that could contain evidence about the scale of phone hacking at the paper, it has emerged.


News International subsidiary News Group Newspapers' barrister Michael Silverleaf QC told the high court at a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday: "Two very large new caches of documents have been which the current management were unaware of."


NGN was ordered in the summer to search its internal email system for any evidence that mobile phones belonging to a list of public figures were targeted by the paper.


That search has not been completed, but some documents have already been retrieved, the high court heard. Referring to the emails that NGN has been searching through, Mr Justice Vos told the high court that "there is some important material in what has already been disclosed".

1. Wow, Republicons (international variety) have their Big NOSES into everybody's private business

And yet - as always - Republicons 'claim' they are conservative, and 'claim' that government and media should stay out of the private lives of private citizens.

Just another load of Republicon Bullshit. They never tell the truth about anything.

2. And what happened to the alleged investigation of hacking here in the U.S.?

Any word on that? Seems to have just disappeared.

3. Dont they mean that they found large caches of "santized" documents

After all they wouldnt want to include anything even more incriminating like say documents that show news corp was coordinating with the RNC and or the Bush whitehouse for example.
