Disclaimer & comment rulesI guess that when Obama re-writes the rules for NSA surveillance of his own citizens he will add a section on the rules for collecting info on foreign nations and their people.

Kerry and Patriota: you couldn't put a bus ticket between them for the title of the “Idiot of Country”, based on themes in “The Coward of the County”.

Of course the US will use it's scare tactic “fighting terrorism” and say everything is classified.

No wonder many companies are abandoning US based servers for storing data.

I mean, each terrorist you kill with a drone, radicalizes at least five arabs in a 100m radius of the blast!
I like the United States. They know how to defend their interests and always position themselves very well when they are defending them. There are cheaply made dizzy when their sovereignty is at stake.

Yet ,depending on the menu, it can be cathastrophe or blessing
This man was truly a genius. He should have been awarded the Order of Liberator General San Martin. Unfortunately he could not complete the cleansing of all the Montoneros.

Firstly, Miranda was not “pulled off a plane”. As it says in the article he was transiting through London Heathrow. Like Brazil, you have to obey the law whilst in the airport and are subject to whatever questions the security forces decide you need to answer for them.
Secondly his partner Greenwald claims him to be “innocent” but was actually a document mule taking documents to the stupid bitch in Germany who is going to do a “documentary film” for Greenwald AND the Guardian newspaper who employs him. To this end the Guardian had to admit this morning that THEY had paid for Miranda tickets. So no conflict of interest there, eh?
Thirdly, the security force were acting FULLY within the law. They did keep the girlfriend, sorry wife, in the slammer for NINE full hours to the minute. A unique achievement and probably a message to his husband not to fuck with us.
I bet Miranda won’t come back through the UK again when he next plays the document mule role in their “partnership”. I bet you wouldn’t like a big butch security guard telling you to bend over, would you. On the other hand.....

I would say that constitutes being pulled off the plane, wouldn't you. You will note that when he was released his personal property, and that of others, was not returned.
