That's awfully disingenuous, Glenn Greenwald's partner being detained should make it pretty clear to you: you don't even need to be doing anything for the government to target you.
Targeting dissidents isn't anything new, however targeting their friends and family is definitely a very dark precedent to set. The "War on Terror" has been slowly but surely moving towards a "War on Dissent." Not only are dissenters unsafe, but their friends and family too.
The risk for Groklaw's P Jones is not small, however the risk to her friends and family is non-zero. That is most definitely reason enough to abdicate from public discourse.
