If true, the News Corporation scandal has just taken another turn. I quote:

On the reports on Fraser Brown having cystic fibrosis, the Brown family believe only medical staff treating their son had access to the records, and are worried they may have been accessed illegally.

A well-placed source has told the BBC that in 2006 when she was editor of the Sun, Rebekah Brooks called the Browns to inform them she knew that their son Fraser had the condition.

Friends of the Browns say the call caused them immense distress, since they were only coming to terms with the diagnosis, which had not been confirmed.

Cameron and Brown share the pain of having a child with serious illness. If someone had accessed the records of Cameron's son's illness, I would have thought that, had positions been reversed, Brown would have investigated this properly and Murdoch's empire would be liable to some sort of punitive response. And I think that Cameron is a big enough chap, and a decent enough man, to ensure that this revelation doesn't get away lightly.

I am now of the opinion that News Corporation's UK goose may well be cooked.

Nah....he'll just live in the US, wherefrom it's rather difficult to extradite him as he's now a US citizen.

I mean, they'd have to issue an arrest warrant while he's on UK soil, and I can't see anyone with the balls to do that.
