I honestly, seriously, have NO idea why this is a story now. Guido Fawkes covered it extensively when it first broke, what, a year and a half ago?

Knowing the Guardian, there has to be some literally political or media/political reason to scream this from the rooftops at this particular point. Guardianistas smell blood in the water and are circling Coulson, waiting for the kill? Does it have something (or maybe everything) to do with Rebekah Wade's recent career moves?

@raincoaster: I also find it fascinating who's been named as a victim and who has not, such as Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, who had some problems with his cellphone rather inconveniently just before announcing his candidacy.

Gotta love the british understatement of "inviting" him to speak. In murrica, he'd be "invited" with a subpoena and a baseball bat.

In this episode, Les seems to have forgotten his trademark Bandaid prop.

Bloodcopy is a joke of a Gawker blog. There's your Gawker/Bloodcopy joke.

Nice. Does that put Bill Keller in the William Sanderson role?
