Scotland Yard has launched a third police operation, ostensibly into computer hacking by the Murdoch empire, but in reality into connections between News International, British intelligence and Special Branch.
From the national security perspective, this had to be an entirely separate investigation because it is born dead.
This police investigation must be a whitewash.
They can't allow the military-multinational-intelligence complex to become visible...

Metropolitan Police to take forward Operation Tuleta, which will investigate matters not covered by phone hacking inquiry

Scotland Yard is to expand its investigations into unlawful newspaper practices by setting up a new task force to examine claims of computer hacking by the News of the World.
The Metropolitan Police said a formal investigation would be launched to take forward Operation Tuleta, which was set up to examine the use of "Trojan" emails that gives a hacker full access to a target computer's contents by infecting it with a virus.
The new team, reporting to Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers, will investigate matters not covered by Operation Weeting, the force's phone hacking probe.
A spokeswoman said: "Operation Tuleta is currently considering a number of allegations regarding breach of privacy, received by MPs since January 2011, which fall outside the remit of Operation Weeting, including computer hacking.
"Some aspects of this operation will move forward to a formal investigation. There will be a new team reporting to DAC Sue Akers. The formation of that team is yet to take place."
The announcement came after former army intelligence officer Ian Hurst said the force was formally investigating his claim that his computer was hacked by a private investigator working for the News of the World.
In July 2006 Hurst was sent an email containing a Trojan programme which copied his emails and relayed them back to the hacker. This included messages he had exchanged with at least two agents who informed on the Provisional IRA Freddie Scappaticci, codenamed Stakeknife; and a second informant known as Kevin Fulton. Both men were regarded as high-risk targets for assassination. Hurst was one of the very few people who knew their whereabouts.
Hurst told Channel 4 News: "Police officers working for Operation Tuleta have informed me that they have identified information of evidential value in regards to my family's computer being illegally accessed over a sustained period of 2006.
"The decision by the Metropolitan Police to proceed to a full criminal investigation was conveyed to me this week by Tuleta police officers."
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
