This is starting to become a soap opera of passive aggressive back and forth.
- igravious 16y agoOpera is a good word. In fact this word and its cognates (theater, show, drama, display) have been echoing more and more of late. I realize that the rebuttal post by Greenwald related to the post I have submitted here was posted 4 days to HN ago (though I can't find it now!) but this particular link to Salon seems to be missing from HN's cache so I decided to submit it. So this is here more for the sake of being complete than anything :) The worsening journalistic disgrace at Wired: 6 days ago http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2042873 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2042873 Wired's Response to Glenn Greenwald (re:Lamo-Manning Chat Logs): 5 days ago http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2047763 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2047763 Basically, I think that Wired are in over their heads. It is obvious now that Greenwald is accusing Adrian Lamo of setting Manning up for a fall and that he has used his "hacker" connection to get Wired to back his story up. The accusation is that Wired are either knowing collaborators or misinformed dupes. We are watching the levers and cogs of power at play here and it is fascinating.
