Something close to hysteria seems to be at work as allegations pile up in the United Kingdom newspaper scandal over phone-hacking. Most notable of the off-shoots is the attack on TV host Piers Morgan by British MP Louise Mensch. Morgan was once an editor of the now slain sensational tabloid News of the World. He's a fast operator no doubt. But, as reported in the linked story, Mensch, who is the wife of the manager of the band Metallica, apparently took some liberties when questioning executives during the parliamentary investigation.
