"They asked questions about my entire life..."

BBC just tells me that Miranda had been in Berlin working with highly sensitive material...

Was the US involved in London? The White House say, "no"

Schedule 7, Terrorist Act 2000... questions you up to 9 hours WITHOUT A LAWYER... And this tactic is used more and more. In fact, there are too many of these stops and interrogations.

Extreme extensive powers like this are OUT of CONTROL.

Journalistic freedom is part of the debate, America... FOCUS YOUR ATTN ON THAT FOR A CHANGE...

They take the FULL extent of the law, spending time interrogating him about the NSA report and elect devices he was carrying, while traveling through...

How to intimidate.... Hmmmm... Oh, I know... interrogate someone for the full extent of the law. It's going to have the opposite effect, isn't it?

Chertoff (remember him?) comes up with his Rapi-scan machine and earns $118 billion from this industry.
