The UK Parliament has published a bombshell of a letter from convicted News Of The World phone hacker Clive Goodman that alleges that the practice was not only “widely discussed” among senior staff and editors at the tabloid, but that then-editor Andy Coulson tried to cover-up the extent of the practice.Goodman’s letter, published Tuesday as part of a larger document dump by Parliament, is dated March 2nd, 2007, shortly after Goodman was released from prison.
