All in favor of detaining journalists or their significant others, raise your hands.

233. I disagree that Greenwald would be

'fucking up in arms'. He is not as 'hysterical' as poster on DU would seem to like to make him out to be. Given this happened but days ago, I suspect there may be more pressing matters. He did post his own blog which I quote to another poster on this topic. He details the facts of the encounter between his spouse and the Brits. There are some discrepancies between his account and the NYT.

I am quite aware of how newspapers work. I was copy editor for mine in college. That being the case, I am sure many of us are still waiting for the correction from the New York Times to this day for the 'false information' they gave during the run up to the Iraq War. Have they done that yet?

Whether it is actual leaked information or not (and even that source you are referencing does not state definitively what exactly was or was not on those encrypted drives), the Brits abused their authority in detaining a journalist's spouse on 'terrorism' reasons (that was the order they held him under), confiscated his belongings, and acted with intimidation. If Miranda broke a British law or was a terrorist, they would not have let him go free at the nine hour mark.
