LONDON, June 11 (UPI) -- Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, at the inquiry into the Murdoch media empire, Monday accused The Sun newspaper of harming Britain's war effort.
Brown's testimony, in which he denied Murdoch's description of some of their exchanges, rejected the suggestion his wife gave her permission for a 2006 story on their infant son with cystic fibrosis and claimed the newspaper "cause[d] huge damage to the war effort" in Afghanistan, began four days of evidence from political leaders, The New York Times reported Monday.
