StevoR : Free West Papua, free Tibet, let the Chagossians return!says
Journalist, terrorist, meh, same diff! 😉
Of course, files are one thing, hard copy (multiples thereof at that!) is another again and computers can be avoided, accessed from elsewhere and not necessarily home or physically destroyed if need be.
Any smart journalist could, of course, be recording that whole encounter with her / his own independent video camera from the start as well.
Plus there’s the whole ting of y’know colleagues and editors having conatc and reasons for suspeicion and so on.
Plus the pantomine style parody of the NSA, well, not exactly either subtle or that plausible really I think.
Isn’t this all pretty obvious?

(Needless to say this should be needless to say but sadly it needs to be said.)
