This just came across my TL: Glenn Greenwald reacts to UK officials detaining his partner under Terrorism Act

Detaining my partner: a failed attempt at intimidation

The detention of my partner, David Miranda, by UK authorities will have the opposite effect of the one intended

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/18/david-miranda-...

David was unable to call me because his phone and laptop are now with UK authorities. So I don't yet know what they told him. But the Guardian's lawyer was able to speak with him immediately upon his release, and told me that, while a bit distressed from the ordeal, he was in very good spirits and quite defiant, and he asked the lawyer to convey that defiance to me. I already share it, as I'm certain US and UK authorities will soon see.

The White House revealed on Monday that Britain had given the United States a “heads up” that it planned to detain NSA leaks journalist Glenn Greenwald’s partner, David Miranda, at Heathrow Airport over the weekend.

Amnesty International condemns detention of Glenn Greenwald's partn...

"There is simply no basis for believing that David Michael Miranda presents any threat whatsoever to the UK government. The only possible intent behind this detention was to harass him and ... Greenwald, for his role in analysing the data released by Edward Snowden," Brown said.

"States cannot pass anti-terror acts and claim they are necessary to protect people from harm and then use them to retaliate against someone exercising his rights. By targeting Miranda and Greenwald, the government is also sending a message to other journalists that if they maintain their independence and report critically about governments, they too may be targeted."
