1. don't get my hopes up.

That perp walk thing...you know I'd love to see Fox shrivel to dust.

4. I cannot imagine a perp walk.

I've lost all hope in ever seeing anyone that powerful actually be held accountable for their crimes. It simply never happens.

Though at least this is in a European country, slightly more likely there than in the US.

8. Is testifying to Parliament

that different than testifying before Congress here in the US? Is lying to parliament a crime? Can they take the UK equivalent of the 5th?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. The UK does not have the fifth

And now it is in doubt...per Guardian

12. Still more from the Guardian

The chairman of the Commons Culture Committee, John Whittingdale, has told Sky News that parliament has the power to compel only British citizens to appear before committees - meaning that Rupert Murdoch is out of reach.

Whittingdale said that the committee would only be able to compel Rebekah Brooks, a British citizen and the embattled chief execuitve of News International to appear. Both Rupert Murdoch, an Australian native who took US citizenship, and his son James would not have to appear.

The MP was eager however that senior figures from Murdoch's British media empire are held to account, saying: "I think there is a huge list of questions. They have already said that parliament has been misled."

"We will want to know what was untrue, but there are the other questions about how far this extended up in the company which they run."
