Rebekah Brooks and Rupert Murdoch

Rebekah Brooks and husband arrested in new twist in phone-hacking inquiry

Pair released after facing day of questioning by detectives on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Rebekah Brooks, Rupert Murdoch's long-time confidante and a personal friend of David Cameron, was arrested at dawn on Tuesday alongside her husband, the racehorse trainer Charlie Brooks, as Scotland Yard's investigation into phone hacking at the News of the World struck out in a new direction.

Rebekah Brooks, who was chief executive of News International until July last year, was one of six people seized between 5am and 7am on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. It was the largest single batch of arrests in Operation Weeting so far. Previously only three of the 22 people arrested in the News of the World phone-hacking investigations had been held on a similar basis.

Operation Weeting?  What kind of name is that?  Those Brits are so lame. They should be grateful we bailed their asses out in all three world wars (I, II and Cold).

As far as Rebekah is concerned; she must be guilty, she has red hair and therefore no soul...
