With law enforcement resignations and revelations of hacking at other publications, it’s clear that Britain’s phone hacking scandal is no longer restricted to News Corp’s now-defunct News of the World.

It’s now clear that the hacking scandal is no longer an issue of one bad apple, but rather a corrupted system involving both News Corp and non-News Corp publications, along with top law enforcement officials.

The latest to be dragged into the scandal is CNN host Piers Morgan, who replaced broadcasting veteran Larry King in the 9 o’clock hour.

Morgan was both an editor at News of the World from 1994 to 1996, and the editor of rival publication Daily Mirror from 1996 to 2004.

It was during his run at the Daily Mirror that Morgan was allegedly involved in hacking, or at least condoning the hacking, of private telephones. In fact, Morgan wrote about the technique in his book The Insider.

No fewer than five members of British parliament have now called for the CNN host to testify as to his involvement in the unfolding scandal.

For its part, CNN has heavily and gleefully covered the News Corp angle but has thus far refused to mention its host’s role in the hacking controversy.
