A "plan flinger"? How does one fling a plan, then?
On a serious note, Kuttner was a VERY big cheese at Wapping. As Managing Editor, he answered only to gingernut.
If they manage to pin something on him, things look seriously bad for Brooks

Tom Watson's FoI 'saga' is now developing into something. http://www.tom-watson.co.uk/2011/08/foi-request-to-the-cabinet-office-the-ongoing-saga/
Coulson's testimony at the Sheridan trial was paid for by notw whilst he was working for Cameron, it had to be OK'ed. My feeling is that the request on who took that decision is going to come back with absolutely nothing.

I see Heather Mills is accusing Mirror Group and Piers Morgan of hacking her phone 10 years ago and printing stories that could only have come from eavesdropping on her and Paul.
Apparently Piers Morgan may have incriminated himself in something he wrote around the time.

according to Private Eye, it used to be a party piece of Morgans to recite a phone message between Mills and Mcartney ending with him singing to her.
They've repeated it several times over the years and haven't felt the wrath of Carter Fuck so make of that what you will...
Morons statement today is just an attack on Mills basically, as unpalatable as she may be, it doesn't mean she isn't telling the truth.

Well, she hasn't accused Piers Moron, nor has she claimed the Mirror printed stories as a result of eavesdropping, nor has Moron incriminated himself in authorising 'hacking' or running stories as a result of such action - apart from that you are correct.
Sadly, there's no smoking gun in respect of Moron.
Yet.

Well I have been watching tv and listenning to R4 and I definately heard from one or other of them that Morgan had claimed in writing that he had listenned to a tape recording of Mills voicemail messages from Paul.

He has said this indeed (including in his book!), but he's been playing the Bart Simpson "I didn't do it" defence up until now...actually, I think I have my latest copy of Private Eye on me - will check a bit later to see if there's any more in there on all this...

I presume if you listen to messages you didn't actually illegally obtain yourself, then you must beguilty of conspiracy and being an accessory, unless you instantly shopped the person who gave em to you
there certainly is.
there is also a swipe at Marina Hyde's silence on the Mirror/Morgan issue whilst slating NOTW in columns

In Morons defence there is at least a 50/50 chance that Mucca actually gave him the answerphone message herself, in which case there is no foul, hopefully it isnt this that dominates the anti-Moron argument, lets face it there is an awful lot more that people should use.

REALLY? why would the silly woman do that?
totally agree there's loads more spears that could be chucked at moron,and it would be a shame if the chance were lost.

I think by 'Mucca' agric means McCartney. Or it could be Mills, either way the motive would be to play to the gallery to get favourable coverage in the press.
I remember years ago there were photos of Di on a gym exercise machine that purported to be the product of a hidden camera. I read a letter in one of the papers from a professional photographer who said there was no way you could get an image of that quality from a hidden camera. . .

She has a history of taping things that might prove useful to her later on, and as idris points out she might have wanted to sway the media.

When he went after Ian Hislop he even got one of his staff to ring Hislop's vicar trying to dig dirt.

Yes, now I really do hope there's more on Moron than anything she's got

His "team" also waylaid Hislop and Co at a Private Eye book signing, and did a full-page splash on this "exclusive" - not that Moron ever bears a grudge or would abuse his editorial position to show off said grudge nationwide, of course....anyone for some Viglen shares or staged torture pics?

Did'nt she have an affair with Moron a few years back?

Did'nt PE expose the Mirror share scandal involving Moron? I remember when he appeared on HIGNFU he tried to best Hislop and ended up having his arse handed to him on a plate.As Mirror editor he did his best to dig up any sort of dirt against Hislop without much success.
