David Moran ofcourse partner Glenn Greenwald he was
caught at Heathrow Airport and
squashing for nine hours by British security officials
but now they were using of course schedule 7 under the Terrorism Act
is David Miranda terrorist of course not do they think he's a terrorist of course
not
but they did it anyway partly because they want to get the information that he
and he was coming over from
Germany had been working to Laura Poitras was also help England we will
with the story on it were snowed so they thought
well maybe you might have some information about Edward stone and we
in UK apparently don't care about are
journalism at all and we don't think you should have a free press
so what's gonna steal stuff we detain him
and even though we know he's done nothing criminal resist take all this
stuff
and we're gonna rifle through it weirdo redid
and I will probably destroyed and not give a back to okay great fantastic
how do you get a sense above how outrageous this was
people that are detained under this
legislation this was do with terrorism now
ninety-seven percent of them are detained for less than an hour and in
fact
only one in 2,000 people are detained for longer
then six hours only one in 2000 but he was detained
for nineteen hours that's the maximum
you can't go any past that how do you really think it took them nine hours
to look through his memory sticks in his laptop or
after the first five minutes when they got that stuff the rest of the nine
hours is basically a warning saying
well if you're going green was partner or your any way involved in journalism
we're coming for well yesterday Glenn Greenwald said you're not the only one
that could
go on offense we have more material about the UK and we're not afraid to
publish it
you have that to look forward to not today David Merida
goes on the offenses as wide a warning for you
I'm also coming for you I'm going to take legal action against the British
government
for abusing this law and targeting me
as if I'm some sort a criminal when at most what you have on me
is I might be involved in journalism why
how so is the right about this of course ears
and right now there's a little bit over controversy brewing
in the UK about what they did in whether they were justified so
the British officials are going to respond
so what do they say a safer so what they did was quote
legally and procedurally sound okay well that %ah to sell it then
I love how they don't give me details in another
dunno it's all okay I do declare you know we we it's all sound and
everything's all right now
look away okay I want to give me something okay fine
here we go he said the gunman in the police have a duty to protect the public
and our national security all I see Atwell
in case and Rose was gonna break at I do understand how the UK has protect
their community from actually finding out what the government does
because government must be protected at all costs even if it's from its own
people
right and certainly from reporters or even partners are loved ones
%uh reporters well so
now wait a minute what even if you're against the journalism you say I don't
want them to print that material that at once known as about the US or the UK
and by the way nice little apt are you are you take good boy good boy
sit rollover okay the US apparently tells the UK to do whatever the hell
they want
the british government just goes along okay I'm um
sure the British ur citizens are thrilled about that
so but what in the world does this have to do with tears which is the
piece of legislation you're using to justify well they explain that Miranda
was suspected
of possessing highly sensitive stolen information
that would help terrorists calm
on do you really believe he was gonna go give it to the terrace
Eliza course you consider the guardian or Glenn Greenwald the terrorist
which you might cuz you're now the bad guys we've
do you remember how was when we had communism we have the Soviet Union
and east germany and in and obviously the harder the Soviet Union itself in
the hopes
ration and everybody would be worried I mean in cuba the became a say castro
they gotta go like this for their
bearded man right is that how we're gonna be now week a carry any
information on any overlap is government can
just jack *** so we just have to speak in code like ***
I'm going to visit that guy this is Edward snowden
and I'm gonna get this information because if
we dare to report what the government does were all terrorists were giving
information
to tears and remember that's exactly the argument that the US government use
in prosecuting and persecuting Bradley Manning
they said well if you release information to the Internet
well I could go to the terrace the Internet is the enemy
the public is the enemy if they get it
then he is 18 the enemy and now the UK taking it one step further saying
if you police any information we don't like an you embarrass the British
government
we will not consider you a terrorist thank you at least we now know where you
stand
