Your summary misses the longest and most interesting part of the article: the discussion of the pre-existing relationship between Lamo, Mark Rasch, Poulsen, and Chet Uber (can the names in the saga get any better?), the fact that Rasch is the guy who sent Poulsen to prison before he was a writer for Wired, the fact that Rasch himself is a writer for Wired, and the fact that Lamo's claims about the contents of the log continue to shift in ways that seem beneficial to the prosecution.
- jdp23 16y agoFair enough. None of this is news but the information about the relationships is useful for people who aren't familiar with the backstory. As for Lamo's story continuing to shift, gee, what a surprise.
- rhizome 16y agoI'd say the information about pre-existing relationships among the players, as well as conflicts of interest within them, is indeed news.
- jdp23 16y agoNews to Greenwald, apparently. It's well known in the security and civil liberties communities.
- tomkarlo 16y agoRegardless of how well known those relationships are in certain circles, Wired should still disclose them when publishing a story, given that they have a much wider target audience.
