If Miranda Wasn't A Journalist, Why Did The Guardian Pay For His Trip?

[KittyWampus]

“This is obviously a serious, radical escalation of what they are doing. He is my partner. He is not even a journalist.” -- Glenn Greenwald, as quoted by Charlie Savage of the NYT

If Mr. Miranda isn't a journalist, then why is The Guardian paying for his trip?

What was he doing for the Guardian?

1. Maybe you should do an investigation

2. Oh, is he suspected of Aiding & Abetting Journalism?

That must fall under the international anti-Journalism statutes.

Of course.

4. Rights Or Wrongs Of This Aside, Ma'am

In order for him to have expected to pass through Heathrow en route between one person involved with the Snowden materials and another person involved with them, in possession of various electronic devices capable of storing information, without being braced by police, he would have to be profoundly stupid.

5. Miranda is a spouse to Greenwald

this isn't difficult....

[KittyWampus]

7. So? Greenwald wasn't with him.

6. Maybe GG brought the tickets using the Guardian as proxy

Rightly or wrongly, maybe he thought Miranda's trip would draw more scrutiny if "Greenwald" appeared in the credit card receipt...Although this is pure guesswork on my part

8. Is Miranda payng his part of the cable bill? Why is he not forthcoming about this?
