窃听事件后风雨飘摇的默多克资讯集团

所有的问题都将应向默多克，而不是资讯集团。在之后的几个月里，不论是老默多克还是小默多克都要在英国的法官面前解释关于此次的手机窃听他们知道多少以及何时知道。此次卡梅伦总理下令进行的法庭质询，将依照2003年hutton案（调查David Kelly的死亡环境）的质询模式以及英国的军火专家质疑英国政府怀疑萨达姆侯赛因藏有大规模杀伤性武器拥有证据的质询模式进行。我曾经写过一篇文章讲述关于Hutton公爵出土的证据，这个案件直接毁掉了Tony Blair（前首相）的名声。

Lord Justice Leveson will want to know not only about the phone hacking itself, much of which took place five or ten years ago, but about News Corporation’s 2007 internal inquiry, which purported to establish that the misdeeds were the work on one “rogue reporter.” From the outside, only two possibilities present themselves. The inquiry was horribly botched, or there was a deliberate coverup.

Leveson法官将会需要知道不仅仅关于这次发生在5到10年前的电话窃听，还包括2007年默多克公司本身进行的内部质询，在这次内部质询中公司认为窃听行为只是某些流氓记者的个人行为。从局外者的角度看，这个结果只有两个可能型。要么这次质询彻底被搞砸了，要么就是有人故意隐瞒些什么。

Leveson, a Liverpudlian with a reputation for independence, is also sure to take an interest in what happened subsequently. News International, the News Corp. subsidiary that runs the British newspapers, reached legal settlements with a number of phone-hacking victims, effectively buying their silence. James Murdoch, it is now known, explicitly approved some of these payments.
