Everybody is a terrorist

At least when it comes to trying to stop further investigation of the NSA.  Authorities at Heathrow detained the partner of Glenn Greenwald, the journalist in league with Edward Snowden.  The partner, Daniel Miranda, was detained under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The law has come under fire in England for it applies only at airports, ports and border areas and allows officers to stop, search, question and detain individuals for a maximum of nine hours.  Those detained have no right to a lawyer and if they refuse to cooperate they are subject to criminal prosecution.  Authorities took from Miranda electronics equipment including his mobile phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and games consoles.

Obviously, Miranda is not a terrorist and could not be conceived of as being one.  Yet, the UK invoked this law to find out what they could about Snowden's treasure trove of information about NSA.  It is highly unlikely this would have happened without England getting the ok from the US.  It's probable that we initiated the action.
