BBC's Stephen Sackur goes toe-to-toe with Greenwald...
does anyone else think Greenwald is a total scumbag. He has all of Snowden's leaks. He's selling them to the highest bidder..started his own multimillion dollar journalism outfit, with billionare backers. Snowden is getting the big fuck you financially, while he sits in exile in Russia, and it's only a matter of time until Snowden's locked up in the Pen. Bet you anything you'll all be sneering at Greenwald in 3 years time when it turns out he is just using these leaks to further his career, while Snowden rots away in jail penniless.

The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs had a hearing about NSA/PRISM/etc yesterday, with Jacob Applebaum and Alan Rusbridger amongst others. Greenwald was supposed to be videoconferenced in, but it didn't work for reasons unknown to me.
Two interesting bits of information:
1) Sweden is closely involved in the Fives Eyes program. They have an installation to monitor satellite communications and access to fibre optic cables that the members of Five Eyes don't have access to. No specifics were mentioned, but a quick glance at a map of long distance cables indicates to me that it's Russian communications they are interested in -- those run through Sweden.
2) Nations with access to PRISM/ECHELON besides the Five Eyes: France, Israel and Sweden. Likely to have access, though probably limited: Germany. Potential access, but unconfirmed: a total of thirty nations.
And, as a special bonus, the former chair of the special committee that authored the 2001 report on ECHELON said the following, paraphrased by me:
"If rentention of domestic communications meta data is deemed neccessary, the acquired data should not be stored outside of the respective nation. Normally, I'd say outside of the EU, but that just brings us back to the problem of GB and the GCHQ."
That's a high ranking EU official stating, on record, that GB cannot be trusted.

Greenwald & Miranda Speak Out on Recent Detainment in UK
The good thing is that people are really pissed about this. Even if they don't like Greenwald or the Guardian a lot of people are coming out and speaking up. So this incident might end up being a good thing, if it results in change.
Schedule 7 seems horrendously ambiguous. They can hold you for nine hours without a reasonable suspicion that you are involved in any criminal activity...but it must not be used arbitarily and is solely for determining if somebody is a witch. err I mean if somebody is involved in terrorism.
I'm not really sure how you can detain somebody without suspicion and simultaneously demonstrate that it wasn't arbitrary or unconnected to terrorism. Where exactly is the accountability here. Oh. There isnt any. Hearing the Home Office dismiss this whole affair by saying that it is up to the Police to decide how they use (misuse?) their powers is quite frightening. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Ha. Yeah, the anti-terrorism acts are quite the broad legislation. You only need be suspected by any underachieving asshole in a uniform. And I love how Greenwald and the Guardian are handing this situation. UK is looking more and more like their former imperialist selves these days. Maybe they'll colonize India again to keep it safe from terrorism again. They can save Bangladesh for the US Empire.
Speaking of England and their imperialism and all that, I met Jim Sheridan last night. He's the Irish director who made In the Name of the Father and My Left Foot. Great guy.
Bwahaha, I didn't even catch the irony of his name until you pointed it out. Good one, mate.
Would it be far-fetched for me to also suspect them of trying to draw focus onto Greenwald's sexuality?
It smells an awful lot like a poor-man's smear campaign that backfired, big time. The editors at the Guardian really did a great job an picking pictures for their related articles, always rubbing it into bigots' faces with those two happy blokes front and center.
PS: Nick Cohen had the laugh of the day when he wondered what terrorist organisation Miranda might be associated with: "the provisional wing of the Unabomber Appreciation Society".

I did see that. It's just intimidation tactics. But I love it when world governments act petty like scorn thirteen-year-old school girls.
Also, his partner's last name is pretty fitting, too. Miranda. It'd be more fitting if this happened in the U.S., but still.

Also this.
"Mr. Miranda was in Berlin to deliver documents related to Mr. Greenwald’s investigation into government surveillance to Ms. Poitras, Mr. Greenwald said. Ms. Poitras, in turn, gave Mr. Miranda different documents to pass to Mr. Greenwald. Those documents, which were stored on encrypted thumb drives, were confiscated by airport security, Mr. Greenwald said. All of the documents came from the trove of materials provided to the two journalists by Mr. Snowden. The British authorities seized all of his electronic media — including video games, DVDs and data storage devices — and did not return them, Mr. Greenwald said."

Did you see this shit?
The UK's Terrorism Act 2000 had caused quite some ruckus over here before, but this is just out-fucking-rageous.
