RABBIT-ah Brooks and her husband among six
arrested by phone hacking police.The investigation stems from widespread wrongdoing at
Rupert Murdoch's now-closed Hack of the World.
The victims have ranged from celebrities and major
politicians to the families of crime victims.
Our Daves carrot and stick diplomacy doesnt
appear be having much affect in the US.David Cameron described Mr Brooks as a "good friendfor over 30 years", which led to him digging a bighole for himself just prior to hisWhite Hutch pressconference in the Rose Garden.
Did the MOON sink the Titanic 100 years ago?The iceberg that sank the Titanic on 15 April 1912 wassent on its deadly path by the closest approach of the
moon to the Earth in 1,400 years, say astronomers. Aonce-in-a-lifetime lunar event created an super-high
tide on January 12, 1912 - setting loose a deadly fleetof icebergs, three months before Titanic sank on April14, 1912 with the loss of approximately 1,500 lives.

HE FEBRUARY LUNCH was hosted by Mike Carn,
as I was absent in London and Manchester on
family matters. It was a welcome return, and

debate and dialogue. John R wrote an interesting report
of this which you can read on the CADS website.

So overall a busy agenda
On the wider front, the Leveson inquiry has continued to cast
light on the dirty business practices of News International.
Two dozen more arrests have now netted the unspeakable
Rebekah Wade and her husband, together with reporters, another
policeman, a MoD official, and a serving army officer. More senior
policemen have yet to fall, and it remains to be seen whether some
senior civil servants and politicians will suffer the same fate.
Quote from Sue Akers, the no-nonsense senior Met officer re-
sponsible for the investigation:
Payments by journalists to public officials have been identi-fied in the following categories: Police; Military; Health; Gov-
ernment; Prison and others. The evidence suggests that such
payments were being made to public officials across all areas
of public life. The current assessment of the evidence is that
it reveals a network of corrupted officials. As the investi-
gation progresses it is anticipated that detailed enquiry will iden-
tify the corrupt public officials and they will be arrested.
