gears up to charge Greenwald
Britain's Daily Telegraph reports that the terms of a court order "were widened so police have specific permission to analyse whether Mr Miranda, and others, have breached the Official Secrets Acts or a section of the Terrorism Act 2000 which make it an offence to possess information which may be useful to terrorists."
British authorities argue that the Glenn Greenwald's courier, David Miranda, had shown very poor security judgment, showing that Guardian journalists could not be trusted with secret data. They said he had carried a password that they used to decipher some, but not most, of the data.
But Greenwald said the government had been unable to get access to the encrypted files, tweeting: "Anyone claiming that David Miranda was carrying a password that allowed access to documents is lying. UK itself says they can't access them."
