From Reuters
"I will be far more aggressive in my reporting from now. 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," Greenwald, speaking in Portuguese, told reporters at Rio's airport where he met Miranda upon his return to Brazil.
"They wanted to intimidate our journalism, to show that they have power and will not remain passive but will attack us more intensely if we continue publishing their secrets," he said.
Miranda told reporters that six British agents questioned him continuously about all aspects of his life during his detention in a room at Heathrow airport. He said he was freed and returned his passport only when he started shouting in the airport lounge.
But wait ~ Greenwald now says Reuters Misquoted him!

Glenn Greenwald Via Twitlonger:
Reuters is the absolute worst at tearing comments out of context for sensationalizing headlines. The paraphrase:
Q: Will the UK's detention of your partner deter your future reporting?
A: Absolutely not. If anything, it will do the opposite. It will embolden me: I have many more documents to report on, including ones about the UK, where I'll now focus more. I will be more aggressive, not less, in reporting.
Q: What effect do you think they'll be of the UK's detention of your partner?
A: When they do things like this, they show the world their real character. It'll backfire. I think they'll come to regret it.
REUTERS: HE VOWS TO PUBLISH DOCUMENTS ABOUT UK AFTER DETENTION, SAYS THEY WILL BE SORRY!!!
I have met David Miranda as part of a my friendship with Glenn Greenwald. The thought of his being detained by the British police for nine hours because his partner embarrassed the American government really sickens me at a gut level. I immediately think of my husband, Aaron, being detained in connection to work I have done – something that would horrify and frighten me. We should, of course, feel this empathy with people we have never known – but the realization is all the more gob-smacking when it comes so close to home. So of course my instinct is to see this exactly as Glenn has today.
. . . although David was released, his entire digital library was confiscated – including his laptop and phone. So any journalist passing through London’s Heathrow has now been warned: do not take any documents with you.
Britain is now a police state when it comes to journalists, just like Russia is.

UK move against @ggreenwald's partner isn't a scare tactic. If they're taking his electronics, US/UK working on indictments.

“@hblodget: @ianbremmer Indictments against who? Glenn? Or just Snowden?” Against Glenn. That's v likely the strategy.

UK is now totally fascist>> Just being associated with somebody that criticizes mass surveillance programs can now get you detained.

You don't get to call something "journalism" and get a free pass for anything.
— Ian (@iboudreau) August 19, 2013
Like, you can't call it "journalism" when you offer money to people for breaching top secret clearance oaths.
— Ian (@iboudreau) August 19, 2013
That's called "spying." Or "terrorism."

So, @Ggreenwald uses his partner as a mule and then rages? Why is there always the truth after his outragebursts?

No one has been able to really hurt the UK, ever. But since @ggreenwald crowned himself King of the World that will of course all change.

The Miranda detention completely justified under Terrorism Act. Fulfils subsection 1 b&c and 2 c,d,e. http://t.co/Ut7xkrXHW1
— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) August 19, 2013
One final word: the scandal is not that the classfied data mule, Miranda, was held for 9 hours; it's that he wasn't arrested and charged.
