David Miranda was employed as a messenger to carry stolen government documents. [View all] ProSense Aug 2013 OP

If that was the case and he was carrying stolen materials cali Aug 2013 #15

They probably haven't yet determined what is in the materials. pnwmom Aug 2013 #140

He wasn't arrested so apparently that's not the case. GeorgeGist Aug 2013 #19

Not Necessarily, Sir The Magistrate Aug 2013 #24

Or maybe no evidence to arrest Ma'am. n-t Logical Aug 2013 #90
