Key Points
- James Murdoch stated that "He didn't see. He wasn't told. He didn't know."
- Murdoch was questioned for more than two and a half hours.
- Murdoch made one important concession to their version of events - acknowledging that he'd been briefed on the incriminating email back in 2008 - but insisted that its importance was kept from him.
- More than a dozen journalists at News International, News Corp.'s British newspaper subsidiary, have been arrested, and several executives, including The Wall Street Journal's publisher, Les Hinton, have resigned.
- Murdoch isn't home free. A judge-led inquiry into Britain's media could call him back to the UK for more questioning. And detectives could dredge up more damaging revelations.

Key Points
- James Murdoch insisted yesterday he was not told the full scale of phone hacking at the News of the World.
- The News International chairman blamed the Sunday tabloid's ex-editor Colin Myler and its legal chief Tom Crone for keeping him in the dark at a meeting in 2008.
- He repeatedly told MPs he was not shown the so-called "For Neville" email, which had been marked for the paper's ex-chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck and indicated large-scale hacking.
- He said: "It is not something that I would condone, it is not something I had knowledge of, and it is not something I think that has a place in the way that we operate."
