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

[Whisp]

161. Just a rerun of a couple facts here:

Snowden said he had documents that could be very harmful to the U.S. He said he had agent's names and other things that could bring America down to it's knees (or was this GG saying that, they are kind of interchangeable how they speak their nonsense). Those documents could very well have such information on other countries as well.

Those are threatening words. Very serious stuff. If you can't accept that factoid then there is no point in reading further.

So David has a visit with Poitras (the filmaker that also just coincidentally happens to have Libertarian leanings and has partnered with snowden and greenwald) and has some devices on him that could store copies of these documents that Snowden thieved off with.

Britain and the U.S. and most countries, whether you appreciate it or not, do share information on possible threats. David could have very easily looked like a possible threat with all that stuff he was carrying. He is not a journalist, so I would think that if he had those docs on his person, he could be implicated in the theft - I don't know.

Why he was held so long, that we also don't know. But even just going on a simple trip, sometimes airport waits are unbearable.

Where they checking his laptop and stuff while he was waiting? dunno

Was he 'abducted' like Greenwald said? Very highly unlikely - just his use of incendiary words to ramp up the donor meter.

But we will see.
