The detention by UK authorities of Glenn Greenwald’s partner David Miranda is a blatant attempt to intimidate not just the two men - but journalists everywhere.
We blogged about it at In the (K)now in detail today in “Detention of Greenwald’s partner a blatant attempt at intimidation: Journalism is not Terrorism."
The treatment of Miranda, Greenwald and the staff at The Guardian newspaper is a blot on the U.K. government of David Cameron, and the complicity of the White House is nothing short of disgraceful.
Practicing journalism is not a crime. Journalists should not be treated as criminals.
