“There was a heads up that was provided by the British government,” spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. “This is something that we had an indication was likely to occur.”http://news.yahoo.com/-u-s--got-%E2%80%98heads-up%E2%80%99-before-g...

"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."
