LONDON (AP) —David Miranda,The partner of a journalist,Glenn Greenwald, who
received leaks from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden
was detained for nearly nine hours Sunday under ANTI-TERROR legislation at
Heathrow Airport.
British authorities had "zero suspicion" that Miranda was linked to a terror
group and instead interrogated him about the NSA reporting and the contents
of the electronic equipment he was carrying. Greenwald said Miranda's
cellphone, laptops and memory sticks were confiscated, triggering claims that
authorities are trying to interfere with reporting on the issue.
.....(WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF THE PRESS).................
"If the U.K. and U.S. governments believe that tactics like this are going to
deter or intimidate us in any way from continuing to report aggressively on
what these documents reveal, they are beyond deluded," Greenwald said. "If
anything,it will have only the opposite effect: to embolden us even further."
