Phone Tapping

Visible to anyone in the world

one can hardly fail to notice that Cameron used the form of words 'without justification' in respect of the Coulson Affair. It is another example of the ends justify the means. It is up to the law to decide if phones can be tapped, it is not up to journalists. Illegal activity is illegal activity, there must be no cover up in the White House.

If journalists listened to conversations illegally, and they find illegal activities have taken place, then they must go to the police with their evidence, only they can't, because the evidence was obtained illegally.
