Leak a document Title: Phone-hacking whistle-blower found dead Phone-hacking whistle-blower found dead By the CNN Wire Staff July 18, 2011 -- Updated 1945 GMT (0345 HKT) London (CNN) -- One of the first journalists to go on the record and allege phone hacking at News of the World was found dead Monday, the British Press Association said. Sean Hoare, a former News of the World employee who said Andy Coulson "encouraged" phone- hacking, "was discovered at his home in Watford, Hertfordshire, after concerns were raised about his whereabouts," the press association said. "The death is being treated as 'unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious,' " the report quoted Hertfordshire police as saying. The Guardian reported that Hoare had recently injured his nose and his foot in an accident. It was unclear whether those injuries were linked to his death. Hoare had publicly accused News of the World of phone-hacking and using "pinging" -- a method of tracking someone's cell phone using technology that only police and security officials could access -- according to the New York Times. Hoare was one of the few sources who allowed his name to be used when speaking to the Times last year for an investigative report about allegations of phone-hacking by the British tabloid. In his remarks, he specifically accused Andy Coulson -- former editor of News of the World, who went on to become Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director -- of wrongdoing. The Times described Hoare as a "onetime close friend of Coulson's." "The two men first worked together at The Sun, where, Hoare said, he played tape recordings of hacked messages for Coulson," the Times wrote in its report last September. "At News of the World, Hoare said he continued to inform Coulson of his pursuits. Coulson 'actively encouraged me to do it,' Hoare said." The report added that Hoare said he was "fired during a period when he was struggling with drugs and alcohol. He said he was now revealing his own use of the dark arts -- which included breaking into the messages of celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham -- because it was unfair for the paper to pin the blame solely on" one reporter who covered the royal family. "Coulson declined to comment for this article but has maintained that he was unaware of the hacking," the report said.

You can't call Murdoch a murderer in a title. Who knows maybe MSNBC did this to make it look bad on Fox.
#2. To: Godwinson (#0) But thanks for posting this. I was just reading it about 2 min ago.
#3. To: A K A Stone (#1) You can't call Murdoch a murderer in a title. Yes I can and did. "Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs. #4. To: A K A Stone (#1) thanks for locking that thread, i'm tired of dealing with the silly boys from LP
#5. To: calcon (#4) thanks for locking that thread, i'm tired of dealing with the silly boys from LP You've lied so much today, you're looking like a pretzel. Consider yourself a joke.
#6. To: harrowup (#5) whatever, spongebob whinypants
#7. To: calcon, A K A Stone, harrowup (#4) You started a thread and huffed like a puff adder to boldly announced: I just banned myself at LP. Then, you were back at LP a few minutes later … continuing to wallow in your feces. Stone had to come along and clean up your droppings, by posting to you: This thread is getting stupid. … (which it was) … and then he locked the thread. After Stone locked the thread … (because you WERE being stupid, as ALWAYS) … you come to this thread and posted to Stone: thanks for locking that thread, i'm (sic) tired of dealing with the silly boys from LP
WHAT? You thanked Stone for stopping you from continuing to be stupid?
YES, you did … and it was nice of you to do so. However, in doing that … you made a really idiotic self reflection. So, not only do you continue to display stupidity everywhere you post … by returning to LP, you also once again proved that you are a LIAR. I just banned myself at LP. ***SNICKER***
#8. To: Gatlin, calcon (#7)
I just shit myself at LP
***SNICKER******SNICKER******SNICKER******SNICKER******SNICKER***
#9. To: harrowup (#8) whatever, spongebob whinypants .
#10. To: Fred Mertz, harrowup (#9) … whatever …
The “whatever” is that Goldi told calcon to “shut up” on LP and then he came over to LF where Stone told him that his thread got just plain “stupid” and "locked" it … that made calcon a two-time loser. “Face” is an attribute in which emotion is invested. “Face” can be lost, maintained, or enhanced, and must be constantly attended to in interaction. In the eyes of both forum owners, calcon “lost face” … that was made fully apparent to all, and especially painfully so to calcon.
#11. To: Gatlin, A K A Stone (#10) (Edited) ...that made calcon a two-time loser... ..and according to his first wife, a two-timer. SoCalV8's first wife complained about the same thing except she meant he was like a Two Minute Egg Timer in the sack... Ba-da-bing-ba-da-boom Stone? Please let me know before you delete some of my best work...I gotta make the mortgage this month and my routine is getting old given the lack of targets. Thanks. PS: Socalv8 said he bozo'd me but it still stands at 4; does that mean his other IDs are just mixed in with his other moniker?
#12. To: harrowup, socalV8 (#11) PS: Socalv8 said he bozo'd me but it still stands at 4; does that mean his other IDs are just mixed in with his other moniker? I see that decision-making and the process of choosing a correct course of action remains a serious problem for him. I now have five who have bozo'd me ... maybe, just maybe, he keyed in the wrong screen name.
