If I were involved in the high stakes game he is, I'd be a bit more emotional, a bit more eager to convey the fact that I'm a human being who makes decisions that have consequences outside the purvey of my own foresight.
But Lamo continuously seems like an emotionless machine. He gives speeches about damning a kid to life in prison and the moral dilemma of discretion when faced with illegal but possibly necessary civil disobedience with all the passion and articulation of a Hall of Presidents automaton.
It's hard for me to get the impression that his actions are anything but calculated.

- Gianteye 16y agoI really couldn't say. It could be as simple as that. It could be that he was under investigation for something and he bargained for immunity. It could be that he was under the impression that he was being investigated and felt that fingering Manning before someone discovered their conversation would protect him. It could be hatred for disgruntled military personnel or an overriding urge to spill secrets. There's no telling right now.
