Why Did The Guardian Omit So Many Important Facts Regarding Miranda?

Last night we first saw the story as Greenwald's spouse detained for no other reason than being Greenwald's partner.

Why was their article not attributed to a specific author and just attributed to "staff"?

It sure looks like Greenwald wrote this story and INTENTIONALLY left out a lot of details for the sole purpose of stoking outrage.

than it is listed as staff collaboration. A column is usually written by a columnist that is usually looked over by the head editor.

This one ? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/18/glenn-greenwald-guardian-partner-detained-heathrow

Their own staff means its not been pulled in from Reuters , AP, whoever and its not one of their blog writers. Not too difficult to understand when you consider the short distance between Heathrow and their offices in Kings Cross.

Or are you going with empty, vacuous accusations with no grounding in reality, again?
