digg

Wired Magazine explains that the chat log, which captures a conversation between Julian Assange and PVT Manning prior to PVT Manning’s arrest, was momentarily available on the Army’s website before being mysteriously removed.  In a chatty tone, they discuss information security, crowdsourcing the constitution in Iceland, the election in Iraq, and California’s Proposition 8.  Wired published the following excerpt directly on its website, with the rest available in a PDF document viewable at the bottom of the article:
