This is the problem. The letter of the law actually allows laws designed to stop actual terrorism to be used against those undertaking activities that those in power deem undesirable. Correct me if I am wrong, but almost every country has some set of laws designed to stop journalists from publishing truly dangerous information. Had Britain used those laws to detain Miranda, there would have been outcry, but the question in court would have dealt with something reasonably within the scope of the spirit of the law. Applying anti-terrorism laws to a journalist just screams of press suppression. If I were an investigative journalist in the UK, I'd be spending all my time learning about encryption, privacy software, and how to move my files to secure, overseas locations with multiple backups and fail-safes.
