"Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive officer of News Corp. (NWSA)’s U.K. publishing unit, was arrested a second time by London police as the year old phone- hacking probe turned to a possible cover up, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The Metropolitan Police said they arrested five men and a 43-year-old woman in a probe to investigate a potential conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, without identifying the suspects. Brooks’s husband Charlie, a former racehorse trainer, was also arrested, the person said, declining to be identified because the matter is confidential. Police also detained Mark Hanna, who headed security for the News International unit, according to a spokeswoman for the company."

-- I'll say it again, the mainstream media is currently the most-vulnerable body part of TPTB. And David Cameron is in deep trouble. Mass popular support for a fearless investigation, expressing outrage at the blatant criminality involved works to the advantage of all seeking freedom from tyranny because Rupert Murdoch is one of the powers that be. Take down one God on Olympus and they all become aware of their vulnerability. -- MCR
