In reply to the discussion: So the TRUTH is beginning to emerge. Miranda was carrying stolen classified information [View all]Mr. Miranda was in Berlin to deliver documents related to Mr. Greenwalds investigation into government surveillance to Ms. Poitras, Mr. Greenwald said. Ms. Poitras, in turn, gave Mr. Miranda different documents to pass to Mr. Greenwald. Those documents, which were stored on encrypted thumb drives, were confiscated by airport security, Mr. Greenwald said. All of the documents came from the trove of materials provided to the two journalists by Mr. Snowden. The British authorities seized all of his electronic media including video games, DVDs and data storage devices and did not return them, Mr. Greenwald said.

Yes, he is gay. Which is probably a good reason he's not in Russia with Snowden at all. n/t

Yes, the "emerging truth" is always better than truth. You know, old truth.
