The reporter who revealed mass surveillance by the US authorities warned the British government yesterday that he would expose its spying secrets after it detained his partner under the Terrorism Act.
Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who interviewed Edward Snowden and revealed the US National Security Agency’s mass monitoring of phone and internet use, said the UK would be “sorry” for the detention. Speaking from Brazil, where he met David Miranda, his partner, off an aircraft from London, he said the incident would only make his reporting more aggressive.
“I am going to publish many more documents. I am going to publish things on England too. I have many documents on England’s spy system. I think they will be sorry for what they did,” he told the Brazilian press.
