http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Adrian_Lamo#.28alleged.29_Domestic_Violence
Lamo also has made a statement on his blog about this at http://pax.vox.com/library/post/citability-is-important.html
Personally it strikes me as odd the Wired should be considered reliable for eight other citations in the wikipedia article on Adrian Lamo and then suddenly be considered unreliable for this one.
A time line of interesting events in the Lamo Manning Wikileaks case. I hope to update this as events unfold. Feel free to comment with corrections/suggestions.

| 2010-08-04 | #fedz #lamo #manning #webster | Webster admits contacting authorities, Lamo confirms |
| Webster said he alerted Army counterintelligence agents, who contacted Lamo. Manning was detained in Kuwait May 29, three days after Lamo called Webster. Lamo said he consulted with several people after Manning confided in him, but that it was Webster who got the investigation rolling. | ||

| 2010-08-03 | #cryptome #lamo #webster | Timothy Webster denies cryptome allegations |
| I was certainly surprised to see that somebody went to the trouble of compiling some sort of clumsy pseudo-dossier on me, particularly given my general lack of importance with regard to... well, just about anything, really. It's apparently amateur hour, given the inaccuracies and conspiratorial tone when no conspiracy exists, but I'm flattered by the effort. I propose to the source that he/she find a more worthwhile hobby to pass the time | ||

| 2010-08-02 | #cryptome #lamo #webster | Timothy Webster outed on cryptome |
| In a BBC interview with Adrian Lamo he states that he actually contacted a friend formerly with Army Counterintelligence to inform on Manning. The former agent is a man named Timothy Douglas Webster who Lamo has known for many years. The two met on America Online when they were both involved in the AOL hacking scene. Mr. Webster [personal information deleted by Cryptome] and Lamo remain very close friends. | ||

| #chetuber #lamo #manning #wired | Lamo denies Chet Uber's claims he was sent documents by Manning | |
| Update 8/2/10 18:30 EDT: Adrian Lamo said Monday that Manning did not provide him with classified documents. Lamo says Uber’s statements were the result of a misunderstanding. Lamo informed Uber in May that Manning, in his instant messenger chats with Lamo, had discussed things he’d seen on classified networks. | ||

| The U.S. military has announced that it will press criminal charges against 22 year old Pfc. Bradley E.

| DailyTech has received information from a high ranking Department of Defense source involved with the the investigation, claiming that they had received no contact from attorneys retained and hired by the site that Manning allegedly leaked to -- Wikileaks. This contradicts previous reports. Wikileaks chief Julian Assange had previously stated that his efforts were rebuffed by U.S. government officials, a claim the DoD source states is believed to be false. | ||

| In an interview with Yahoo! News, Lamo says that he spelled out very clearly in his chats with Manning that he wasn't affiliated with WikiLeaks or acting as a journalist. Lamo even offered, he says, to speak to Manning as a reporter and to protect his identity — and Manning refused. "I told him, 'Look — I am a journalist, and California [where Lamo lives] has a shield law,' " Lamo says. "I asked him if he wanted that choice, and he did not." It's unclear why Manning would reject such an offer. | ||

"You've seen it once, you've seen it a thousand times. Snitches, in whatever community they're destroying, always defend themselves by trying to cloud the issue with the same old cries of, "You have no idea what *you* would have done since you weren't in my shoes!" It's like watching a smirking frat boy at a party zipping up his pants as he's strutting away from a passed out mangled coed, saying, "Come on, you have no idea know what *you* would have done if you'd been the one to find an unconscious hot chick!" -- http://www.stopsnitchingnerds.blogspot.com/Great idea, though personally I'd like to see a "Snitches Get Stitches" t-shirt with Adrian Lamo's face on it.
"Before Kevin Poulsen had full coddling privileges over Lamo at Wired, the tech news service themselves ran an in-depth report outlining the unstable and unskilled kid ..." -- user "7752837529"So I decided to dig out this old Adrian Lamo wired article from 2004 [2], and some of the information was, as Julian Assange would say, "disturbing" in the extreme:
His ex-girlfriend, who requested that her name be withheld, has also accused him of stalking her. "Every time I moved, he'd send an anonymous email," she remembers. "Sometimes he'd include my unlisted phone number, which nobody else had. He made a point of showing that he knew where I was." The court issued a restraining order against Lamo, following a complaint in which his then-girlfriend described an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse. "He carried a stun gun, which he used on me," she recalls. "He was very controlling. He wanted to know where I was constantly. After we stopped talking, he would hack into the phone company's service center and change my phone services." * -- Jennifer Kahn, "The Homeless Hacker v. The New York Times", Wired 12/04

Lamo tells us he sent the logs to Wikileaks "To see if they'd be true to their ethos, and publish something, even if it incriminated a source, or if they'd cover it up. I wanted to pose a catch-22. They did neither. [T]hey passed them on to a disgruntled ex-fan who knows my ex-wife[.] ID'ing me as the source. They broke their own rules. Any source that pisses them off could face termination, prison, or worse."Adrian Lamo also gave an interview with Australian compsec journalist Patrick Gray on the his risky.biz podcast site [2] which was published on June 10th, fourteen days earlier. Directly after the interview at around 35 minutes and 10 seconds into the podcast Patrick Gray can be heard to state:
"Adrian Lamo on the line there. Lamo also told me he submitted those chat logs between him and Manning to wikileaks and it's their decision whether or not they want to publish them ..."As one astute reader on risky.biz points out [3], in a Wired article published on June 11th, one day later [4], Adrian Lamo claims he will not give the logs to wikileaks:
“No, I’m not going to give the logs to someone who suggests that I might have been drug-addled when I decided to turn in a spy,” says Lamo, who takes prescription medication for depression and Asperger’s Disorder. “Private Manning’s attorney can get them by discovery like everyone else.”

"Award-winning journalist Andy Stangby was tapped to fact-check Greenwald's work, and Lamo is engaged in penning his reply." From "Ex-Hacker Adrian Lamo to Accept Salon.com's Offer to Rebut Wikileaks / Bradley Manning Story" [1]
I had never heard of "Award-winning journalist Andy Stangby" and could find next to nothing on the web about him, so I decided to ask about him on Adrian Lamo's facebook [2] . Andy Stangby replied to my question:
Speaks for itself really.

UPDATE: Andry Stangby's reply has since been deleted. Lucky I got a screenshot ;)

Another copy of the press release can be viewed at [3]
UPDATE #3: Adrian Lamo has now deleted his facebook post [2]
UPDATE #4: Lamo has now deleted the prlogs press release as well [3], webcitation http://www.webcitation.org/5qmxeKgC3 still works. He has published a new press release without the reference to Andy Stangby at [4]

These logs originally appeared on pastebin.ca as "The Truth About Adrian Lamo" and have been confirmed by Nadim as genuine.
The salient facts contained in these logs is that a) Lamo got "Hackers Wanted" leaked despite denying that he had anything to do with it and b) he was taken into psychiatric care for a drug problem rather than for "Aspergers" as he claimed. If you read http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/05/lamo/ along with these logs the story makes a lot more sense.
Cops don't institutionalize people for acting weird, RE: the homeless.
You can just imagine it:
COP #1: "Worst case of Aspergers I've ever seen!"
COP #2: "Sweet jesus... I'm calling for an ambulance now."
Yeah, I don't think so. They *will* call an ambulance if you're so mashed they think you're at risk of dying from an overdose, however.
NOTE: Adrian Lamo appears to be systematically attempting to remove these logs from the net. Roll of honour: http://pastebin.com/7XsPFFyX, http://pastie.textmate.org/1015569, http://pastebin.com/PDTUGLNZ & http://pastebin.ca/1888965 (entire site nuked?!) all now sadly deceased.

Just to make it clear the above is all my own commentary and was not part of the original file as found on pastebin.ca
