The email from Bradley Manning, the leaker of the “Collateral Murder” video appeared in the Washington Post<\/a> this morning. Of course the Post tries to make him appear to be a sympathetic figure from a broken home, homeless at one point until he found the Army. Then the Army tossed him aside when he struck a fellow soldier recently.<\/p>\n

“I’m an army intelligence analyst, deployed to eastern baghdad, pending discharge for ‘adjustment disorder,’ ” Manning said by way of introducing himself to Lamo, who had recently been profiled on the Web site of Wired magazine.<\/p>\n

“If you had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 8+ months, what would you do?” he wrote. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Turns out that Manning isn’t “pending discharge for ‘adjustment disorder…”, or at least he wasn’t when communicating with Lamo. <\/p>\n

In a phone interview, Lamo said he does not know what prompted Manning to allegedly leak. “I think it was a confluence of things — being a thin, nerdy, geeky type in an Army culture of machismo, of seeing injustice,” he said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guess what? There are thousands of “thin, nerdy, geeky types” in the Army who don’t leak classified material. <\/p>\n

It’s “important that it gets out . . . i feel, for some bizarre reason . . . it might actually change something,” he said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Everyone wants to change something these days. Some shit is better off left alone, but you can’t tell that to idiots and fools out to make a name for themselves. They should toss this 22-year-old deep under ground for a few decades so he can see how much shit changes without him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
