Pass the Popcorn; Murdoch Edition

This could be fun to watch.
The FBI has opened an investigation into allegations that media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims, a law enforcement official said Thursday.
In the U.K., where the politicians have been running scared of the Murdoch media empire for decades, the knives are out.
