Wrong for PM to pick inquiry members

The Prime Minister has announced the names of the six other members of the public inquiry under Lord Justice Leveson, which will investigate the News of the World hacking scandal and other related matters.

They have been chosen( at £535 a day fee) by David Cameron, though his close relations with News International must be considered by the inquiry.

There is no one representing the victims of hacking or officials of the National Union of Journalists to represent the foot soldiers who acted under commands from on high.
