    Alors que le retentissement médiatique concernant l’arrestation du compagnon de Greenwald peut laisser croire que les abus de pouvoir envers les journalistes au nom de la lutte contre le terrorisme sont rares, l’auteure insiste sur (et s’insurge contre) leur caractère routinier.

    Greenwald and his intimates should not take recent events personally. You don’t have to be a heroic campaigning journalist to be targeted by an over-zealous police force. It happens to too many of us. We need more outraged headlines about these routine police infringements on the liberties of the less heroic, and even those we despise, if we are going to put a stop to misuse of terrorism legislation or all the other laws increasingly wielded in a disproportionate and oppressive fashion.
