@ggreenwald: Anyone claiming that David Miranda was carrying a password that allowed access to documents is lying. UK itself says they can't access them.

@ggreenwald: @MichaelKelleyBI Good encryption requires multiple passwords, not just one. That pw allows no access to documents, period.

greenwald lies.. he also said he was detained "without a lawyer".. forgot to mention Cha Aug 2013 #79

My understanding is he refused a lawyer the UK wanted to give him Mojorabbit Aug 2013 #105
