Glenn Greenwald: "Detaining My Partner: A Failed Attempt at Intimidation"

[JDPriestly]

134. GB is a hostile country as is the US to many countries in the world.

And when you go through the Homeland Security checks at the airport, you are going through a check because your government considers you to be potentially hostile to its interests.

You are not, I assume. Neither am I.

Snowden's partner may not have viewed Great Britain as a hostile country when he flew in. But Great Britain treated him as though they believed he was hostile to them when they confiscated his private property and detained him for many hours.

So, yes, Great Britain took on the role of a hostile country when it detained, searched and seized the possessions of Greenwald's partner.

Think about it. GB is a hostile country when it wants to be. And in that situation, it wanted to be.

We are a hostile country in, for example, Yemen.

We need to have the ability to look at a situation from different points of view. That is how you arrive at the truth.
