It continues to get
more interesting in the UK:
Police arrested Rebekah Brooks, the former News of the World editor and close associate to Rupert Murdoch, for a second time on Tuesday in a new round of detentions in Britain's phone-hacking scandal, Sky News reported.
British police confirmed they had held five men and one woman in dawn raids across the country on suspicion of conspiring to pervert the course of justice, with the woman described as 43-years-old and living in Oxford.
Brooks, who has become a central figure in the phone hacking scandal, is 43-years-old and lives in Oxfordshire.
Sky News, which is part owned by Murdoch's media group, said her husband Charlie Brooks had also been detained.
And possibly more interesting...
One of the descriptions of those arrested - police declined to name them - also fitted the description of James Murdoch, but two sources said he was currently in the United States.

Where's that durn "liberal" media when ya need em!
Inquiring minds wants to know...
Any 81-year old gnomes on the list?
Let's get the master criminal, bobbies.
Murdoch's mercenaries, like all hired tools throughout the centuries who sell their souls to work for known evil warlords like Murdoch, are about to find out that the boss and his inner circle are well protected, while they will be tossed overboard to the sharks.
They were willingly part of a con machine. They're about to find out that they weren't ever on the inside of the con.
The interesting thing coming up, if in fact the younger Murdoch has a warrant out on him, is if he'll throw Dad under the bus to save himself.
Maybe we're about to see if there actually is any honor among thieves. (I suspect not, at least not in thievery's upper classes.)
It will also be interesting to see, if young Murdoch has, indeed, absconded to the U.S., whether or not Obama's DOJ will promptly process the extradition request.
I'll bet the DOJ's internal notes on that little decision would make for fun reading....
