Adrian Lamo, also known as the homeless hacker, at the end of the film Hackers Wanted (2009):

"In many ways (the government) is eliminating shades of gray. They want to polarize people. It's important to our national agenda today to see good guys and bad guys because as soon as we start to believe it's not all black and white - that somebody can do wrong for a good reason - that not every action of law is inherently fallible - it strikes a very dangerous precedent for the way the government wants to operate."

Lamo would go on to rat on Bradley (Chelsea) Manning for whistleblowing. Just one of Mannings documents posted to Wikileaks, titled the Iraq War Logs, exposed how 66,081 out of 109,000 recorded deaths were civilian deaths. The leak resulted in the Iraq Body Count project adding 15,000 civilian deaths to their count, bringing their total to over 150,000, with roughly 80% of those civilians. https://nostr.build/av/35ab8daa24092a6dd32230a610ba602db8759c5b694a5436260fa19b670ea6c2.mov

Do we have leaked documents yet? Bet it's upwards of 90% civilians, maybe more.

There were some sort of documents, but I'll have to look up on it again. It's very bad, on both sides.

It's fucking criminally tragic
