I can see Cameron using this to let News International off the hook for this, which I assume is Murdoch's hope.
It was terrible behaviour, bribing police officers, hacking the phone of a missing child which interfered with the police search for her and hacking the phones of the families of people who died in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - Murdoch of course would never tell people to do that.... but I bet he didn't mind getting the stories from what those people did and is responsible for the culture where people thought that was what they should do.
