What's the deal with right wingers and alleged illegal methods of gathering information for "stories"? The Guardian:
The News of the World yesterday lost a court battle to keep secret evidence which, it is claimed, would reveal widespread use of illegal methods by reporters to obtain personal information about celebrities.
A high court judge ordered that the evidence should be handed over to Max Clifford. The celebrity publicist has begun a legal action seeking to prove that the Sunday newspaper unlawfully intercepted messages on his mobile phone. The result could put fresh pressure on David Cameron's media adviser Andy Coulson, the paper's former editor.
Mr Justice Vos ordered that Clifford was entitled to see three sets of evidence in order to establish the truth. The first set concerned documents uncovered by the information commissioner, the privacy watchdog, during a raid on a private investigator.
