Yes, one of them is currently protesting about being suspected of a crime she didn't commit and of perverting the course of justice. Oh, and so is the other one.Quote:

. The only thing to come out of this is, everyone making money out of the tax payers.
Everyone knows the truth, why do we have to pay these toffs to listen to lies.
James Hipwell, 45, alleged the illegal practice was "endemic" at the Daily Mirror while he worked under the editorship of Piers Morgan between 1998 and 2000.
The 45-year-old claimed he saw show business reporters regularly intercept voicemail messages while he worked next to them on the paper's business section.
He told the Independent newspaper: "You know what people around you are doing.
"They would call a celebrity with one phone and when it was answered they would then hang up.
"By that stage the other phone would be into their [the celebrity's] voicemail and they would key in the code, 9999 or 0000. I saw that a lot."
Mr Hipwell said he would be willing to give evidence to the public inquiry into hacking ordered by David Cameron and headed by Lord Justice Brian Leveson.
He said the death of former News Of The World showbiz journalist Sean Hoare had been a "game-changer" in his decision to speak out.*
Mr Hoare, who was found dead at his Hertfordshire home on Monday, blew the whistle on hacking at the now defunct News Of The World.
Mr Hipwell said: "He was a good bloke and I thought he was treated disgracefully. He is the only one who has had the balls to say that this was going on.*
"I take the view he was right. I know he was flawed, but he was treated very badly and now he's dead. I'm sick of all the lies."
Trinity Mirror, the publisher of the Mirror, hit back at Mr Hipwell's claims saying in a statement: "Our journalists work within the criminal law and the Press Complaints Commission code of conduct."
Mr Hipwell was sacked from the Mirror in 2000 over the "City Slickers" scandal in which he was accused of buying shares before tipping them in the paper.
He was convicted of market manipulation and served 59 days in jail.*
Meanwhile, witnesses who gave evidence about phone hacking in the trial of Tommy Sheridan are to be investigated over allegations that they may have committed perjury.
Strathclyde Police is looking at whether certain witnesses lied to the courts in the former MSPs own perjury trial last year as part of a "full" investigation into phone hacking in Scotland.
Among the people who gave evidence were Andy Coulson, the former NOTW editor; Bob Bird, the then editor of the Scottish edition of the newspaper; and reporter Douglas Wight.
News International has confirmed it had been contacted by police in connection with the investigation.
Trinity Mirror has announced a review of editorial "controls and procedures" following the phone-hacking scandal.
The company said it was being conducted in the light of the current environment rather than a specific allegation.
The BBC has found evidence of possible hacking at the Sunday Mirror, and there are separate claims Daily Mirror journalists hacked voicemails.
The group said its journalists work within the criminal law and Press Complaints Commission code of conduct.
BBC's Newsnight programme has spoken to a journalist who worked on the Sunday Mirror in the past decade who claimed to have witnessed routine phone hacking in the newsroom.
The source said celebrities including actress Liz Hurley and footballer Rio Ferdinand were targeted and the technique was used on a daily basis.
'Clear position'
This weekend, former Daily Mirror journalist James Hipwell told an Australian newspaper he is willing to testify that in the late 1990s Mirror journalists were told to go through the voicemails of celebrities to look for stories.
Hipwell has served time in prison for writing about companies whose shares he owned.
A Trinity Mirror spokesman said: "These are totally unsubstantiated allegations and our position is clear: all our journalists work within the criminal law and the Press Complaints Commission Code of Conduct."
The spokesman confirmed the review of editorial controls and procedures was announced on Monday, and said it would apply to all titles across the group which also include the People, Daily Record and more than 160 regional newspapers.
The company's director of corporate communications, Nick Fullagar, added: "In light of recent events, we thought it was timely to look at our controls and procedures. Clearly, after any significant event, it's just good corporate governance."
Trinity Mirror last carried out a review of editorial procedures in 2004 following the Hutton Report, the findings of Lord Hutton's inquiry into the death of David Kelly, a biological warfare expert and former UN weapons inspector in Iraq.
Meanwhile, the company confirmed it had taken on law firm Herbert Smith to help with preparations ahead of the Leveson inquiry - the wide-ranging judge-led investigation into wrongdoing in the media and police.
On a lighter note
Rupert Murdoch has released a statement saying that he is touched by some of the messages left on Amy Winehouses phone
The private investigator at the centre of the News of the World phone-hacking row said he "acted on the instructions of others", his lawyers have said.
In a statement Glenn Mulcaire's legal team said any suggestion he acted unilaterally was "untrue".
It comes after the mother of murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne was told she may have been phone hacked by Mulcaire.
The investigator was jailed in 2007 after admitting to phone hacking while he was working for the paper.
The statement said: "As an employee he [Mulcaire] acted on the instructions of others.
"There were also occasions when he understood his instructions were from those who genuinely wished to assist in solving crimes.
"Any suggestion that he acted in such matters unilaterally is untrue. In the light of the ongoing police investigation, he cannot say any more."
Silly me, I thought that was the police's job, not the News of the World's.Quote:

In a statement, Associated Newspapers said its head of legal services was handling the review.
A Guardian article quotes sources saying the review is not linked to the phone-hacking scandal, but Associated Newspapers will not confirm that.
Daily Mail editor-in-chief Paul Dacre says he has never countenanced hacking.
In a statement, Associated Newspapers said: "Liz Hartley, head of editorial legal services, who has responsibility for overseeing compliance with the company's policy on journalistic standards, has asked Eddie Young ...to join her to assist in a review of our editorial controls and procedures."
