How Wikileaks got its leak - and Wired its story!

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the name "Manning" by now.

But do you know how Wired got the story?

Do you know how he gave himself away? And Why?

Most interesting though! And you can read all about it here:

In short: if you really wanna find out, scanning for keywords and total surveillance á la Big brother won't do the trick - at least not in a reliable way. It will just restrict the personal freedom of the individual. But checking out the personality will deliver the results - if you know how to evaluate properly! There are many things about this guy's mental state which will reveal what he is capable of and the responsibility level he has. Naturally his sexual behavior is one of them. Not because of the actual physical acts, but because it always goes together with a certain attitude which in return reveals the level of responsibility of the person in question.

Was Wikileaker Bradley Manning Betrayed By His Queer Identity?

It's been speculated that alleged Wikilekear, PFC Brian Manning, is transgendered. We've uncovered evidence that strongly suggests Brian Manning has some sort of LGBT identity, and that the man who snitched on him exploited this to win his trust.

Twenty-two year-old army intelligence specialist Brian Manning was arrested May 26th for allegedly leaking the notorious Iraq Apache attack helicopter video and more than a quarter million classified State Department documents to secret-sharing websiteWikileaks. He was turned in by his confidant, ex-hacker Adrian Lamo. Lamo then gave logs of his chats with Manning to Wired's Kevin Poulsen, who broke the story of Manning's arrest.

There are many unanswered questions about this story—the largest of which is: Why would Manning trust an ex-hacker he had never met enough to confess, almost immediately, via instant message, his terrible Wikileaks secret—something he knew could put him in prison for a long time? Lamo told Salon that Manning found him by doing a Twitter search for "Wikileaks," and that he doesn't know what motivated his confession. Yeah fucking right...
