Wired Releases Full Manning/Lamo Chat Logs
bill_mcgonigle writes "After more than a year, Wired has finally released the (nearly) full chat logs between Adrian Lamo and Bradley Manning. Glen Greenwald provides analysis of what Wired previously left out. Greenwald writes: 'Lamo lied to and manipulated Manning by promising him the legal protections of a journalist-source and priest-penitent relationship, and independently assured him that their discussions were "never to be published" and were not "for print." Knowing this, Wired hid from the public this part of their exchange, published the chat in violation of Lamo's clear not-for-publication pledges, allowed Lamo to be quoted repeatedly in the media over the next year as some sort of credible and trustworthy source driving reporting on the Manning case.'"
I guess the moon still doesn't get television or internet yet.
You don't know? Wow, you're almost as clueless as Ashley Highvale! Randal Alfredson must be rolling in his grave right now.
The comment should have at least once sentence saying who these people are. I don't recognize the names "Ashley Highvale" and "Randal Alfredson".
While we don't need the whole detailed annotation, at least some context would be helpful. Even if I had read about these people and whatever shenanigans they're involved in earlier, I might not remember it now.
