https://wsws.org/en/articles/2013/08/19/mira-a19.html Greenwald is absolutely justified in alleging US collusion in the detention of his partner by British authorities. The two governments have marched in lockstep in carrying out pervasive and illegal spying on their own populations and people all over the world, and in witch-hunting Snowden and others who have exposed their criminal activities, such as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and American Private Bradley Manning. The detention and interrogation of David Miranda is a brazen attempt to harass and silence Greenwald and intimidate other journalists from publishing leaked material about government secrets and crimes. It shows, moreover, how antiterror laws, and the so-called “war on terrorism,” are increasingly being used to suppress political dissent and attack democratic rights.
