@BradMossEsq @emptywheel He was working for the Guardian at the time of his detention, so, yes he was.

@emptywheel Common sense notion of what constitutes a "terrorist". Or even acts of terrorism. -
@BradMossEsq "Common sense"? Like drone strikes? That kind of common sense? Terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. -
@emptywheel And one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I know the lines too -
@BradMossEsq Well then I'm shocked you'd suggest there's something like a "normal" terrorist. -
@emptywheel Normal in terms of the consensus reasonably reached by modern society. We all agree Bin laden was a terrorist, right?

@emptywheel I think, as written, the statute does give the Brits the authority to do what they did.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@emptywheel doesn't mean Miranda was labeled a "terrorist". And that's my point about the broad scope of the statute. And the misnomer issue -
@BradMossEsq The statute was written to enable abuse of power, as many terrorism statutes are.
