What makes you think he didn't volunteer? He's a grown man. deurbano Aug 2013 #60

How do you know documents were stolen? HooptieWagon Aug 2013 #61

Not that this will do any good, but Andy823 Aug 2013 #70

He was arrested. Any detention is an arrest (nt) Recursion Aug 2013 #23

Detained and released, no charges leftstreet Aug 2013 #28

Carrying a classified document isn't (generally) illegal Recursion Aug 2013 #30

Then there was no expectation of detention leftstreet Aug 2013 #33

Sure there is Recursion Aug 2013 #38

Well you just answered a question I've had about Greenwald breaking the law but never asked... cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #59

If it's as simple as your description, yes Recursion Aug 2013 #64

No it is not. RC Aug 2013 #44

And if you are not free to go, you are arrested Recursion Aug 2013 #53

No, you are being detained. There is a legal difference. RC Aug 2013 #78

Would you send your spouse or loved one to do this? Andy823 Aug 2013 #29

Do what? Travel? leftstreet Aug 2013 #31

Neither are Greenwald's essays. baldguy Aug 2013 #80

Exposure. Attention. Etc. nt rrneck Aug 2013 #5

I am sorry I am not as on top of this story as others, but has it been established he had something hrmjustin Aug 2013 #7

He wasn't arrested. GeorgeGist Aug 2013 #11

Did they take anything from him like the OP seems to say? hrmjustin Aug 2013 #16

Yes they did Andy823 Aug 2013 #22

Are they saying he had something he was not supposed to have? hrmjustin Aug 2013 #25

They haven't said yet Andy823 Aug 2013 #32

Well yes I am sure he had an idea something like this could have happened, but his lover hrmjustin Aug 2013 #41

Well then Andy823 Aug 2013 #52

Well the question becomes why did Her Majesty's Government detain him under a terrorist statue when hrmjustin Aug 2013 #55

Another question would be Andy823 Aug 2013 #75

It is possible they may have had an idea this may have happened and wanted it to, but hrmjustin Aug 2013 #76

Maybe he didn't? Maybe he was the decoy? notadmblnd Aug 2013 #8

It doesn't matter. He should have never been detained. boston bean Aug 2013 #12

Good questions Andy823 Aug 2013 #46

Posted this earlier...explains why Miranda was helping (paragraph 2) and snappyturtle Aug 2013 #40

I understand why he was helping Andy823 Aug 2013 #42

Well I would bet he knew it was risky business. From the article snappyturtle Aug 2013 #74

I don't believe he was carrying SHIT. I don't believe Greenwald IS that stupid. Do you? cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #49

No I don't think he is that stupid Andy823 Aug 2013 #54

I was at work all day so I'm a little vague on where the info came from that Miranda was "sent" cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #63

Could have been recipes for Caipirinhas and North Carolina Shrimp & Grits... WorseBeforeBetter Aug 2013 #56

If I were Greenwald I'd buy hundreds of thumb drives and put nothing but encrypted copies of cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #62

Exactly. Hell, pick up the tab... WorseBeforeBetter Aug 2013 #66

And just for giggles... cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #67

Just make sure it's the ol' red, white and blue. WorseBeforeBetter Aug 2013 #68

LOL! n/t cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #72

Martin Luther King, Jr., was said to choose to march in a town with a sherrif who would always Fire Walk With Me Aug 2013 #57

Maybe he was luring the Authoritarians into a trap and it worked? sabrina 1 Aug 2013 #58

Nope, more like Andy823 Aug 2013 #73

So, he did lead them into a trap? Either that, because if was 'boosting his ego' (there's that sabrina 1 Aug 2013 #81

Probably because his spouse is not a child and is actively supporting Greenwald's work Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #65

Nah, more like Andy823 Aug 2013 #71

Only a terrorist would do such a thing. morningfog Aug 2013 #69

Good point. We should round up more of his family. Our liberties depend on it. n/t DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2013 #77

I'm sure he and Miranda were aware of the dangers. They went about their business anyway, MotherPetrie Aug 2013 #79
