Did UK Phone Hackers Hit McCartney?

Paul McCartney plans to meet with British authorities looking into allegations of phone hacking done by members of the tabloid press or individuals being paid by the papers.  Speaking in Ohio between dates on his current U.S. tour, the former Beatle told reporters '...I am going to talk to the police because apparently I have been hacked.McCartney's former wife, Heather Mills, told the BBC on Wednesday (7/3) that her then boyfriend McCartney had left an apologetic message on her phone after the couple had a bit of a fight.  She claimed she was later contacted by a reporter from a newspaper seeking comment who was '...quoting verbatim' from messages on her phone.  Paul calls the idea that reporters would resort to illegal methods a '...horrendous violation of privacy', and says he suspects the practice went on for some time and that a lot more people than have thus far been implicated knew it was happening.
