Correction: Clegg, head of the Lib Dems, has not endorsed the interrogation of David Miranda and seizure of his computer data.

Miranda's lawyers have won a symbolic victory with the court order for the state not to touch Miranda's memories "unless it is for the purpose of ensuring the protection [of] national security or for investigating whether Miranda is himself involved in the commission, instigation or preparation of an act of terrorism".

At present, it is only symbolic. Whatever they wish to do, they will do it anyway and say it is "protection of national security".
