Regardless of the information David Miranda 'has' the whole treatment of him is horrible.

Schedule 7 under the Terrorism Act allows the police to detain anyone without any requirement to show probable cause and hold them for up to nine hours, without seeking further justification. They can hold anybody they want to for no reason, they didn't ask Miranda once about terrorism in those nine hours.

Basically just giving themselves the power to illegally detain people.

I can imagine the Tories getting really pissed off when this law gets slapped down by the ECHR.

Or they just completely ignore whatever the ECHR rules, like every ruling of the ECHR.

Big Brother Watch piped up in the Miranda argument

Also the US DoJ wants Dubya and senior cabinet members to be exempt from trial over the Iraq War.

Edward Snowden’s whistleblowing revelations about US surveillance got a little creepier with the revelation that the National Security Agency hacked into Al-Jazeera TV’s encrypted e-mails, as well as Russian airline Aeroflot’s ticketing system.

German newspaper Der Spiegel reported the latest leaks, after seeing documents supporting the claim.

According to the newspaper, hacking into Al-Jazeera’s protected e-mails is considered no small feat in the US intelligence community. Among other things, the Arab news network has been known for broadcasting messages sent to the world by top Al-Qaeda figures for more than a decade. A substantial number of Osama bin Laden’s video broadcasts, from the 9/11 attacks onward, were broadcast on Al-Jazeera. Bin Laden sometimes appeared in the videos alongside his successor as Al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is still at large.
