77. He was detained with good reason

"The deeper you delve the more it seems that Mr Miranda was deeply enmeshed in Mr Greenwald's work with Edward Snowden, the whistleblower, and a legitimate subject of concern for UK border authorities.

First, let us not forget that Mr Greenwald was the recipient of security documents stolen by Mr Snowden. In interviews, Mr Greenwald has said he at one stage planned to pass these documents to Mr Miranda.

In addition, The Guardian – after updating its original story last night – has now admitted that Mr Miranda was detained while travelling on tickets paid for by the paper. Why, if Mr Miranda were merely the partner of Mr Greenwald, would this be the case? According to The New York Times, it is because he was essentially acting as a document mule, carrying sensitive information with him as he travelled to and from a meeting with Laura Poitras, a documentary maker who has worked on the Snowden leaks"
