I don't know what standard you are going to hold Morgan to, but here's some circumstantial evidence he participated in phone hacking: http://order-order.com/2011/07/27/morgan-mocked-maccas-misery-voicemails/ Excerpt: Yet another Piers Morgan phone-hacking implication has surfaced from his own misguided boasts. Writing in the Daily Mail in 2006 when Sir Paul McCartney split from Heather Mills, Morgan went into some extremely voyeuristic detail about their relationship: “Stories soon emerged that the marriage was in trouble – at one stage I was played a tape of a message Paul had left for Heather on her mobile phone. It was heartbreaking. The couple had clearly had a tiff, Heather had fled to India, and Paul was pleading with her to come back. He sounded lonely, miserable and desperate, and even sang ‘We Can Work It Out’…” Who played it to Piers? How did they get it? Did he procure the illegal interception of an electronic communication – an imprisonable offence - with a maximum two-year stretch on conviction? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
