Ex-Hacker Adrian Lamo to Accept Salon.com's Offer to Rebut Wikileaks / Bradley Manning Story

June 26, 2010 - PRLog -- A recent Salon story involving Kevin Poulsen, Adrian Lamo, Wikileaks, Bradley Manning, and a bizarre conspiracy theory left Adrian Lamo puzzled - and with the chance to rebut the story in Salon's own pages.

Salon's Greenwald proffered to Lamo that any response he had would be run unedited and uncensored on Salon.com. Following strange accusations of government collusion, Lamo decided to accept.

A journalist was tapped to fact-check Greenwald's work, and Lamo is engaged in penning his reply.

Although the reply is a work in progress, it is safe to assume that any response to allegations of a possible government plot will be lighthearted at best, as the issue does not merit serious reply.

Lamo's reply will be available this week.
