i asked glenn greenwald whether he buys that.e. >> i don't have evidence that the u.s. government ordered it, but they did nothing to discourage it or protect the right of free press guaranteed in the constitution, or did anything else to protect the rights that we have as human beings as i have as an american and journalist. so whether the idea originated with the uk or u.s., clearly the u.s. was perfectly happy to see that. >> david, when you got back on the plane to brazil, what was that feeling? >> i was relieved. i was in my country. i knew i was going to be protected, because i was in my country. i know that people here would be carried about this situation and i would see my husband and i knew he was going to take care of this situation. >> glenn, i saw a quote from you saying you would be more aggressive, not less in reporting on england. headlines seem to indicate you would be acting out of revenge. is that accurate? >> it's completely inaccurate, anderson. i was asked whether or not the detention of david would deter my

but our top story no reporter glenn greenwald who broke the n.s.a. snooping scandal says he will not be silenced by what he called intimidation tactics by british authorities his partner was detained at heathrow airport in question for nine hours under anti terror laws instant through confirmation from amnesty international so let's talk now to see you director of international law and policy widney brown joining us on the line from lynn i believe hi there would need thanks for being with us why has the incident provoked such a strong reaction from your good selves first of all. well the first thing is that the u.k. authorities abused their power in a specific law that seemed terrorism suspects to detain glenn greenwald's partner they kept him for nine hours and during that time if you refused to answer a question he would have been charged with a crime plus they confiscated a lot of his belongings since it's all about intimidation tell us a little more about this seven of the terrorism act two thousand. is it because it's big us all because it's ope

glenn, "the washington post." [laughter] the former executive editor len downie was in the newsroom as katharine graham's granddaughter announced jeff bezos, the founder of amazon, was buying the paper. >> she read a statement in which she made clear he strongly subscribes to the journalistic values of "the washington post." that, for me, of course, is the most important thing. >> let's take off the pundit hats. give me your personal reaction. lois, you wrote a fine piece for "politico." >> thank you. my first reaction was shock. i was home, working. i got in the car, and went back to the office. it was a little bit of sadness, and then i thought maybe this is a good thing. they have tried everything. maybe the model needs to be blown up and maybe jeff bezos will bring a fresh eye. >> colby, who would have thought the grahams would give up the newspaper? >> i was the last person to think that. this is the second time "the washington post" rocked my world world -- the first time was in march, 1954, when i reported

earlier yesterday morning glenn

it is laura poitras and glenn greenwald who know what their source has to tell. it's they who have been telling his story, making news out of the documents he's given to them week after week now since june. yeah, their source may be in russia now, but they're not.

my hat's off to glenn for investigative reporting. that edward snowden is a criminal and should not have done what he did. i think this discussion -- >> well, we wouldn't be having this discussion if it wasn't for him. >> that's true. why do you think -- that's the thing i don't understand about the climate in washington these days is that people want to have debates on television and elsewhere but then you want to throw the people that start the debates in jail. >> you have been involved in this a long time. here's the dilemma i face. as a journalist all my life, i'm looking at this and thinking this is brilliant investigative i have journalism by glenn. when it comes to edward snowden, i'm asking where does the line get drawn? what you can't have is a license for every person who has access or authorization to classified material spewing it in to the public either on a women. you can -- on a whim. you can't have that. >> which part do you not want to talk about. which document that has come out don't you want to talk about. >> i sup

glenn greenwald lives in brazil with his partner who's brazilian. laura poitras has been living in germany, to work on her documentary about u.s. surveillance without worrying the u.s. government will try to seize her material. earlier yesterday morning glenn greenwald got a call, informed him his partner, personal life partner, his boyfriend, had been detained by authorities in uk at the heathrow airport, david miranda, he's brazilian. he was on his way home from visiting laura poitras in berlin. british authorities held him at the airport for nine hours. questioning him about the reporting that glenn greenwald and laura poitras had been doing about surveillance. they seized mr. miranda's electronics, took his cell phones, thumb drives, video game play e they took a laptop. with the "guardian" newspaper lawyers at the airport, they finally let him go after nine hours of detention. the british law that allows that kind of detention does not require law enforcement to have a reasonable suspicion about the person they are detaining, but this seems imp

i asked glenn greenwald if he buys that. >> i don't have evidence the u.s. ordered it but i'm disturbed my government was aware of this foreign country's intent to detain my foreign partner and did nothing to discourage it or protect the right of free press, guaranteed in the first amendment of the constitution or did anything else to protect the rights that we both have as human beings and as an american and journalist. whether the idea originated with the uk or with the u.s., clearly the u.s. glove was perfectly happy to see it happen. >> david, when you stepped off the plane from brazil, what was that like? what was the feeling? >> it was a relief. i mean, i was in my country. i knew i would be protected here because i was in my country, and i know that people here would be caring about the situation, and i was going to see my husband, and we would be together, and i know he would take care of this situation. >> glenn, i saw a quote you would be more aggressive, not less reporting on england. some said you would act out of revenge. is that accurate? >> it

scandal with glenn greenwald now miranda was returning from berlin to brazil and transferring throughlondon's heathrow airport and that's where the british police stopped him detained him and told him that he would be questioned and the schedule seven of the terrorism act now it's a court of actual law because it allows the police sweeping powers to basically question and detain any individual and miranda was held as you said for nine hours in london's heathrow airport that's the absolute maximum time that the police are allowed under this law to detain an individual before they're either release them or arrest them now ninety seven percent of the people that are questioned under this law are released within one hour it's extremely rare for the police to question anybody for that maximum allocated time of nine hours but miranda was eventually released he was allowed to continue his journey back to brazil but not before the police confiscated all of his electronic equipment including his mobile phone his laptop memory sticks a camera d.v.d.'s and even games consoles well judging by gle

joining me now, glenn hubbard.the author, and dean of the school of business at columbia university, and david kelly, he is the chief strategist with j.p. morgan fund. let's talk about the jobs report, the economy created 162,000 jobs for the month of july. below expectations even though the rate went down a bit. what does the report tell you where we are? >> we have a slug recovery, we are not growing facht. i think we are learning if we want to change, we have to give the economy a jolt. >> a jolt in what regard? >> a jolt meaning better long-term policy, real clarity of where we are going that gives business people a chance to say yeah, we want to invest again, and we are missing that. >> we are missing that for sure and david, i want though talk to you about the theory of people reaching 65 and what they are doing. >> the most interesting part of we had a mediocre jobs report and the unemployment came down, and the reason for that is labor force is growing that much more subtly, it's grown by that half a percen

glenn greenwald has exposed secrets about the u.k. government and now there's going to be more secrets coming out directly because if he's exposed to talk of the u.k. a g.c. h.q. is tapping into basically all the fiber optic cables around the world and collecting information expose that g.c. h.q. working with the n.s.a. was creating a fake internet capital lure diplomats who were there for the g. eight in two thousand and ten so look the british government's going to probably be dealing with a lot more stuff now as a result of them than doing this do you think is a fair argument to say that the british government is exposing itself by doing this so i'd say so and really with the in the united states government is in the same boat i mean every response they've had to these leaks has shown that they have no credibility in the leaks are being time now edward snowden's leaks are being time so that once and ministration responds to one leak they release another leak showing that the administration hasn't exactly been truthful so what hand

surveillance scale reporter glenn greenwald cold it intimidation but insists it hasn't scared him orhis partner david who had all his own strong equipment confiscated are just bully boy the reports now on the incident that's caused a storm of protest. well it's been a reaction of outrage really and glenn greenwald's called it a profound attack on press freedoms on the news gathering process he said that detaining his partner for nine hours while denying him a lawyer seizing large amounts of his personal possessions was clearly intended to intimidate those reporting on the n.s.a. scandal on the g c h q scandals he also mentioned that not even the mafia stoops as low as targeting family members greenwald's partner is a twenty eight year old brazilian citizen david miranda and he had been to berlin where he was visiting another guardian journalist who was also working on the n.s.a. scandal with glenn greenwald now miranda was returning from berlin to brazil and transferring through london's heathrow airport and that's where the british police stopped him detained him and told him that h

joining me now is glenn greenwald. glenn broke the edward snowden story in the guardian. i am getting confused, okay? i have to say, totally honestly, when a new braham is described and i read several times the article. i can't tell if what i'm reading about is basically a software interface tool that people are using to get data that's already being grabbed by other programs or under different authorization or a distinct program of surveillance, it seemed to me today that we're reading about a tool that allows analysts to search from data that is being collected under legal authority of the fisa court, is that correct? >> no, that is not correct. the program is a dual use tool, it is a tool that allows analysts to search the entire database, it's also a program for collecting data. the nsa's own documents describe it as a tool designed to collect nearly everything a user does on the internet. it's designed to collect that and store it into databases. the database you're talking about has 41 billion internet records stored each and every month for a 30 day period. what is

glenn greenwald says england will pay. journalist who first reported on edward snowden and washington's secret surveillance program says british authorities were trying to silence him by taking his partner, david miranda, into custody over the weekend. miranda's lawyers are threatening to take legal action tomorrow morning, and reporter greenwald is vowing revenge. >> translator: i'll be far more aggressive in my reporting for now. i'm going to publish many more documents. i'm going to publish things on england, too. i have many documents on england's spy system. >> but is it really a journalist's place to vow revenge? here to discuss that, andrew bozian of the pointer institute, a watch dog of sorts for journalistic ethics and standards. welcome, andrew. >> thanks for having me. >> let's back up a bit and talk about how authorities at london's heathrow airport took greenwald's partner into custody and held him for nine hours. have you ever heard of such a thing happening? >> no, not to a journalist. and the fascinating th

good morning, glenn. you're reporting there are new frustrations, frustrations in congress about being thwarted in attempts to exercise oversight. what does that mean, and who is stopping them? >> members of congress, members from both political parties actually came to us and showed us all kinds of letters and e-mails that they've been exchanging in which they're trying to get the most basic information about what the nsa is doing and spying on american citizens and what the fisa court has been doing in terms of declaring some of this illegal, some of it legal. remember, we keep hearing that there's all kinds of robust oversight by congress and we need not worry and yet these members of congress, one who is morgan griffith and alan grayson from florida showed us and we're publishing this morning very detailed letters trying to get this information and they're being blocked from getting it and they've said and other members have said that they are forced to learn about what the nsa is doing from what they

what happened to john glenn? nothing. >> he went up in space again. >> yeah, but he could not get to the imaries. that will not change the polical lascape. >> i do not think the thing will get made. the documentary will, because they are made on candidates all of the time.so what? think there is a lot of pressure from the news side, and my guess is they pull the plug on the miniseries. >> having been trapped in the hillary vortex for three years, to my family's great detriment, i n sathiss part where they are building g her up, then they are tearing her down. >> they'll be coming up.you get the last word, glenn. thank you. see you next week.♪ "government matters >> this week on -- >> this weweek on -- ernment matters" >> it is a much easier undertaking than if you are trying to retrofit shared services into a model that exists. >> the challenges of a share- first culture. >> we have not had to secure additiononal real estate. that is huge.e. >> the u.s. patent office, works strategy pays off. "government matters"

>> yeah, glenn. >> one word about mr. snowden f. you have access to classified infar mansion, he could have uploaded it to the internet in mass or sold it or given it to wikileaks and asked them to publish it all. he did none of that. he came to established media organizations and said please be extremely careful and judicious. go through these documents, publish what is -- >> give me -- >> and with hold the information that could cause harm and that's what we've done. >> glen, he's gone to china and russia, two of the most repress sieve countries in the world and they -- you don't think they have access to all that material? he somehow kept it secret from them? >> no, they don't jeffrey. the reason he had to go to russia and china is because the united states is filled with jeffrey toobins who want to take people who come forwarpd and bring transparency to the government and throw them into a cage for decades and disappear them from the public discourse. >> that's right and he wants to go to china -- and he wants to go to -- >> hon

government has not obtained material from the laptop the british authorities confiscated from glenn greenwald's partner or any of the personal devices they also confiscated. >> i'm just not in a position to talk to you about conversations between british and american law enforcement officials. >> so you can't rule out that the u.s. hat.

ruppersberger because glenn greenwald mentioned your name specifically. are efforts being thwarted in trying to get information for members of congress? >> we have rules as far as the committee on what you can have and what you cannot have, however, based on that statement i just made is that since this incident occurred with snowden, we've had three different hearings for members of our democratic caucus and the republican caucus where general alexander has come with his deputy chris english to have any questions of people asked as it relates to this. and we will continue to do that
