On the radio it's said that very few details are known about Rebekah Brooks' private life.
I wonder how many people private lives' she's exposed whilst keeping hers private

Giving Cameron the benefit of the doubt
I'm actually giving Cameron the benefit of the doubt.
It seems to me that he asked Coulson if there were any general issues he should be aware of, Coulson said no. I'd imagine Cameron asked specifically if there were any issues relating to phone hacking etc. I imagine Coulson said no.
Cameron saw a man who probably swore on his word that he had not been involved in wrong-doing but who had done the decent thing and resigned.
Cameron's background checks probably found no other faults, and so he was employed.
If the above scenario is anywhere near correct then I find no fault on Cameron's part, other than being trusting, which is no great fault.
In that case, Coulson comes off very badly.
If this was not the scenario then I think Cameron may have questions to answer

Tory questions past behaviour of Tom Baldwin
"A Conservative has attempted to highlight Ed Miliband's appointment of a former News International journalist as his director of strategy, claiming that Tom Baldwin had hired private investigators to hack into his bank account."

Bad if true, and further sinking into the mud.
i wonder if Ashcroft is able to slip libel laws as he is taxes

More on phone hacking.
If this is true it's fair to say that some media organisations have too much power, they target people who oppose them. Very bad.
"The first thing News International did was try to have me removed from the committee," he claims.
"I realised then that these people were never going away. Something had clearly gone wrong with newspapers an...d somebody had to get to the truth.
"There weren't many MPs who were prepared to do that for fear of being targeted, so I decided I had to do it.
