Cedar Park almost finished the Risky Business radio transcription, so if anyone is willing to finish it off and put the rest in the comments, I’ll collect it all as one post. Right now KSpopulist is working on Draper interviews Lamo Part 3, so we will hopefully have that up soon.
Many thanks to all. This is incredibly valuable, and people are already pouring over the transcripts, trying to figure out where the pieces fit in. And if you spot any other interviews that aren’t already listed on the Key Articles page, let us know in the comments and we’ll add them.
Also, if anyone is interested in proofing any of the transcripts against the audio, it’s always good to have two sets of ears. Sometimes things that are “unintelligible” to one person are clear to another.
Manning/Wikileaks Timeline . Key Articles . Merged Chat Logs
Update, Wed. am: Looks like the only things we’re still missing are Next Hope Part 3 and the very end of the Risky Business Radio show. We’ll have everything up and on a page soon.

Isn’t the NPR interview already transcribed?

Fantastic! Yes it is. I’ll take it off the list.

I’m taking Lamo at Next HOPE Panel Part 5
If there’s any way to make Manning’s legal defense aware of these transcripts and of the compilation you have made of the chat logs, it would probably be helpful to them.
I stand in awe of the Firepups and their public spirited response.
Lamo Next HOPE Panel Part 5 sent to your gmail.
Couple of FYIs:
- This panel took place on Sunday, July 18, 2010.
- The hackers on the panel were (from left to right) Emmanuel Goldstein (moderator), Kevin Mitnick, Bernie S, Phiber Optik, Adrian Lamo.
The main nugget from this segment is Lamo claiming he decided to report Manning based on “portions of the logs that are not public and most likely will not be”–implying that those portions indicated to Lamo that Manning posed an ongoing risk either to himself or to others.
I was dozing after reading Poulsen’s response to Greenwald tonight, but nightmares of a bleak future filled with dissembling and authoritarian journalists woke me up. I’m thankful we still have FDL and GG around to hold them accountable, so HOPE part 4 should be transcribed soon!
Here’s Lamo Next HOPE Panel Part 4.
(1) Lamo claims Manning approached him as though Lamo were a friend (“a bad friend”), not a journalist, due mainly to the personal nature of the discussions.
(2) Lamo claims that he approached the media due to “the public’s right to know” about the ongoing investigation, but he falters when pressed on why he promptly contacted Wired.
(3) Lamo implies he initially provided limited background info to Poulsen: “I gave him background on the case. I didn’t tell him, ‘Go ahead and run with this.’ It was only after Manning –”. Unfortunately, Lamo is cut off here.
(4) Lamo believes that the leaked documents will not result in a positive change in US intervention abroad.
IM logs between Lamo’s (estranged) wife and an (estranged) friend indicated Lamo was hospitalized for abuse of prescription medication, possibly Ativan- a highly addictive, anti-anxiety medication often prescribed for Aspergers, that can cause the symptoms described.
Also, the friend confronting Lamo re Manning:

May be salacious but also may be helpful.
How should we submit transcripts? Can’t figure out your email address.
in the toolbox in the right hand sidebar is ‘send us your tips‘ — the email addy is listed there
Great work, bravo. (or brava ?)
If it hasn’t been done before, I’ll do John Draper Interviews Lamo, Part 2
Is someone doing Lamo Next HOPE Panel Part 3 already?
If not, I’ll start.
