Default Hacking was done for the good of the nation!!

Shocked and stunned at this man sitting on national television smirking away over the hacking of Millie Dowler's phone and saying it was done for the good of the nation ,he also stated that the Dowler's only found out they were being hacked because of Vodafone!!!

Seems a very slimy character looking at his wikipedia page:

Quote:
n November 2011 he made a notable contribution to the Leveson Inquiry where he not only confessed to a wide range of illegal activities in the pursuit of news but defended them as absolutely necessary...McMullan notably told the enquiry that "Privacy is for paedos".

McMullan testified to having undertaken a wide range of illegal or unethical activities to get stories besides phone hacking: bribing police officers, stealing documents, going through celebrities' rubbish bins, and at one point posing as a "teenage rent boy" to entrap a paedophile priest...

"[Do] we really want to live in a world where the only people who can do the hacking are MI5 and MI6?" he asked. "For a brief period of about 20 years, we have actually lived in a free society where we can hack back".[4] He scoffed at the very notion of privacy, calling it "the space bad people need to do bad things in."[3]
And then there's this:

Quote:
McMullan owns and runs The Castle Inn, a public house near the Port of Dover, Kent[7] In August 2011, he tried to apply for a licence for topless barmaids in the pub. This was later refused.[8]

I guess this stirs up the debate ie Privacy v Hacking

If we have nothing to hide then why would we object to the security services having access to ALL our telephone,Texts and E-Mails

Perhaps we still believe in the right to privacy regardless.

I personally have nothing to hide BUT that does not mean I want a third party reading or listening to everything I write or say.

Tapping some z list celebs phone and interfering in an active murder enquiry are two separate issues to me. He may regret those opinions...
