Adrian Lamo Explains His Decision To Expose Bradley Manning

ilikenwf writes "Whether you agree with his rationale for doing so or not, Adrian Lamo has come forward to discuss his reasoning for exposing Bradley Manning. Manning, now in federal custody, leaked thousands of U.S. intelligence files and documents. Lamo's side of the story shows that he was concerned for Manning's mental health and stability, and for the lives Manning was risking by releasing classified material — Afghan informants, for instance. Either way, this goes to show that if you're going to release stolen/hacked documents, it's best you do it anonymously and don't brag about it."

A snitch is a snitch even if it's a snitch of snitches.

It would be nice to see Anonymous at the bottom of Lake Michigan. You would be a bonus.
Manning betrayed a trust and he's a hero to pathetic losers like you.
Lamo betrayed a trust and hate him.
You are a hypocrite.
