So Rebekah Brooks has come out fighting over the Milly Dowler debacle, as Media Bastard expected. The flame-haired Cerberus at the gates of Wapping has never exactly been one for quietly backing down.
Earlier today Brooks sent an email to staff down at News International assuring them of her innocence.
Plenty of media commentators more astute than Media Bastard will chew this topic over, so we’ll leave the analysis to Mr Greenslade and friends. But I draw your attention to the following, much repeated, quote from Brooks’ email:

Inconceivable? MB couldn’t help noticing some similarities between Mrs Brooks’ forthright claim and the protestations of a certain character from 1987 fairy tale classic The Princess Bride.
To paraphrase Inigo Montoya: “Mrs Brooks, you keep using that word… I don’t think it means what you think it means.” See below:
