LONDON (AP) — Rupert Murdoch's media empire was besieged Monday by
accusations that two more of his British newspapers engaged in hacking,
deception and privacy violations that included accessing former Prime
Minister Gordon Brown's bank account information and stealing the
medical records of his seriously ill baby son.

His reporters were also accused of paying Queen Elizabeth II's
bodyguards for secret information about the monarch, potentially
jeopardizing her safety.

If proven, the charges by rival newspapers would dramatically increase
the pressure on top Murdoch executives so far largely insulated from the
scandal.

Wonder if any of the purloined info was used by Murdoch companies here?
Sure hope so.

Seems Murdoch's operations are scummy no matter the locale.
