LONDON - Is Rupert Murdoch's bestselling newspaper in open revolt?

The associate editor of The Sun newspaper fired off an 800-word broadside Monday at the U.K. police phone hacking investigation that has led to the arrest of some of the paper's most senior journalists. Trevor Kavanagh called the probe a phone-hacking "witch hunt" that was threatening "the very foundations of a free press."

Kavanagh's criticism was directed at police and politicians, but media watchers say its wording left no doubt he was also aiming his ire at the senior Murdoch lieutenants who have been sent in to handle the scandal, and possibly even the media mogul himself.

"Instead of being called in to questioning, 30 journalists have been needlessly dragged from their beds in dawn raids, arrested and held in police cells while their homes are ransacked," Kavanagh said in a prominent op-ed column.

Bold faced letters exclaimed that: "This witch-hunt has put us behind ex-Soviet states on press freedom." That was an apparent reference to Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index, where Britain ranks 28th behind former Eastern bloc countries such as Poland and Slovakia.

Kavanagh, one of Britain's most influential political journalists, said the scale of the police investigation into phone hacking was out of proportion to the alleged wrongdoing and was taking resources away from British counterterrorism work ahead of the Olympics, a claim denied by Scotland Yard.

Police released an unusual statement detailing the number of staff assigned to the investigation — 169 — and insisting that "at no stage has any major investigation been compromised as a result of these deployments."

The investigation into illegality at Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World tabloid and its sister paper, The Sun, has already led to a slew of arrests — including police officers, executives and well-known British tabloid journalists. No one has yet been charged, but the inquiry has uncovered widespread wrongdoing, including voicemail interception, computer hacking and illicit payments to public officials for information.

After an attempt to bury the scandal failed, Murdoch's News Corp. appointed a management and standards committee to get to the bottom of the criminality at his British newspaper subsidiary, News International. The committee, which reports to News Corp. executive vice-president Joel Klein, has been pouring through millions of old emails and other documents in an attempt to turn the page on the scandal.

A comment widely attributed to a committee source recently spoke of the need to "drain the swamp" — a statement that has infuriated some journalists.

"The Sun is not a 'swamp' that needs draining," Kavanagh thundered in his first line. "Nor are those other great News International titles, The Times and The Sunday Times."

Observers said Kavanagh's "swamp" comments were a clear dig at the management standards team.

"Obviously that phrase — allegedly coming from a senior member of the MSC team — has deeply upset many people at the Sun," said Paul Connew, a media commentator who has held senior positions at several tabloids. "It's hardly helped the atmosphere."

Journalism professor Roy Greenslade went even further, calling the editorial "a thinly veiled attack on The Sun's owner, Rupert Murdoch."

Connew disagreed, saying that Murdoch may share Kavanagh's frustrations about having his paper at the centre of a massive police inquiry.

"This may well reflect Rupert's position," he said of the column.

It may also reflect the position of other newspapers. Few journalists defended the News of The World before it was shut, but the reaction to the arrests at The Sun has been more mixed. The right-leaning Daily Telegraph said in an editorial Monday that "the hacking inquiry is too heavy handed," while the Daily Mail wondered whether police could really spare all that manpower "to investigate the alleged misdemeanours of some News International journalists."

Of course, even rival newspapers may have a self-interest in taking the heat off The Sun. Two veteran tabloid reporters told The Associated Press last year that paying police for tips — which is a crime in Britain — was common across the industry.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they still worked in the media industry.

Allegations of bribery are particularly sensitive for the U.S.-based News Corp. America's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could be used to impose fines even in cases where activity has occurred overseas.

In the United States, Murdoch also owns the Fox television network and The Wall Street Journal newspaper.

Murdoch himself was expected in London sometime later this week.

Senior Sun editor attacks hacking probe

THE Ipoh City Council did not promise a plot of land in Ampang for the relocation of SJK(T) Gunung Rapat as claimed by the Opposition, said Datuk S. Veerasingam.

He said Datuk Bandar Datuk Roshidi Hashim had merely told the school authorities that he would put a word of support for their application for the land to the state executive council.

Veerasingam, who is Perak Mentri Besar?s special adviser, revealed that the Ampang land was one of three plots listed by the school in a memorandum to the Mentri Besar in May last year.

?Nothing has been finalised yet. The state government knows that the school desperately needs land, but we need to evaluate all the options and decide on the best location for the school,? he said in a press conference to respond to allegations by state DAP deputy chief V. Sivakumar.

Sivakumar had said that Roshidi had tricked the Indian community by giving away the land initially promised to the school last year to the Perak Football Association (PAFA).

According to a Malay daily on Feb 12, PAFA president Datuk Zainol Fadzi Paharudin confirmed that the association had applied for the land but had not received any reply from the authorities yet.

Veerasingam also slammed the Opposition for failing to help the school during its 11-month stint as the state government.

?They are turning this into a political matter when all Barisan Nasional wants to do is to help the teachers and students who are suffering in a cramped condition,? he said.

During his press conference last Saturday Sivakumar had showed media representatives a copy of a letter from Roshidi to Veerasingam stating that the 0.97ha land was given to PAFA.

?Last October during his visit to the school, the Datuk Bandar had promised that the land owned by MBI would be allocated to the school.

?Even the Deputy Prime Minister promised to give the school RM2.5mil for its development project during his Deepavali visit to Perak,? Sivakumar had said.

He did not accept MBI?s claims that it learnt the land was given to PAFA only after the school visit on Oct 19.

Sivakumar had also said that the school had applied for a land three times and that there was no other suitable land in the area for it to move to.

State Opposition chief Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin who was present at the same press conference said: ?There are 300 students and teachers suffering due to lack of infrastructure at their current location, yet the Datuk Bandar has betrayed the Indian community by going back on his promise.?

On Sunday, Sivakumar accompanied Persatuan Dravidian Malaysia representatives to lodge a police report against the Datuk Bandar over the land issue.
