But he flew straight into another storm as it was claimed 9/11 victims may have had their mobiles tapped by News of the World reporters. And there was more bad news when it was revealed nine reporters ­allegedly at the centre of the phone scandal and claims of police corruption could face jail, along with three officers.

After he spent time at News International’s Wapping HQ in East London, 80-year-old Mr Murdoch held crisis talks with Mrs Brooks, 43 - who denies any knowledge of the Milly phone tapping - at his home in Mayfair.

The pair chatted behind closed doors as a former New York cop made the 9/11 hacking claim. He alleged he was contacted by News of the World journalists who said they would pay him to retrieve the private phone records of the dead.

Now working as a private ­investigator, the ex-officer claimed reporters wanted the victim’s phone numbers and details of the calls they had made and received in the days leading up to the atrocity.

4. I knew they tapped phones in the U.S.

Organizations with worldwide reach don't limit their dirty tricks to one or two countries, they do it worldwide.

Case in point: the church pedophile scandal.

5. Exactly.

There is no way they would not use it this technique in other offices.

12. But so far this is just the Brits asking about Brits.

We haven't got anything on Americans. Except for Michael Jackson.

18. NOTW contacted NY police to get phone records of 9/11 victims

That investigation soon will be started.

6. Prison, please,

Rupert should be Bubba's boyfriend for a while.
Of course so should Bush and Cheney. That would please me. A lot. But, alas, I know they are too rich to be imprisoned for anything. Oh well.

7. Where is the FBI in this?

isn't this very kind of wiretapping without a warrent illegal? Total invasion of privacy?
If the Feds don't come down on News of the World for this kind of stuff, what's to stop other people from violating people like this in the future?

19. Uh, anyone notice something there?

... claimed reporters wanted the victim’s phone numbers and details of the calls they had made and received in the days leading up to the atrocity....

Suggesting that the reporters assumed that all phone calls, even prior to 9/11 were intercepted, recorded and summarized, and that police have access to them.
