British Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament Wednesday that he wishes he had never hired former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as his communications director. Cameron stopped short of admitting error, saying only that, knowing what he knows now, “I would not have offered him a job and I expect he would not have accepted.” He added that, if it is proved that Coulson knew about phone hacking, he will have been lied to and Coulson will be open to criminal charges. Cameron also refused to deny discussing BSkyB with News Corp. executives, saying, "I have never had one inappropriate conversation."
