Hacking the phones of 9/11 victims?..nice. Looks like Murdochgate may move to our shores and be with us for awhile. Of course the Republicans will be doing everything they can to sweep this under the rug. First off, they don't want their propaganda arms to be compromised, and secondly, many of them are just plain scared of Murdoch....

With British lawmakers poised Wednesday to demand that Rupert Murdoch give up on expanding his media empire to include a lucrative broadcaster, a U.S. senator has urged an investigation into whether Murdoch's U.K. newspapers, in the spotlight of a phone hacking and bribery scandal, had violated U.S. law.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., called for the investigation after a report surfaced Monday that 9/11 victims may have been targeted by one of Murdoch's papers, The Sun tabloid. The Mirror, a British competitor of The Sun, first reported the story.

If there was any hacking of phones belonging to 9/11 victims or other Americans, "the consequences will be severe," said Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
