-- Lamo is now going to journalism school, which has a delicious irony to it. After spending so much time talking to journalists and being the subject of so much press, he now has a chance to get on the other side of the story and craft things his way. I wish him luck. He has the right combination of natural burning curiosity about the world around him coupled with an overpowering zeal to explain complex things in simple terms. And maybe he'll teach us old pros a few things about seeing the other side of our subjects as well. He certainly brought some new perspective to this grizzled veteran.
Editor's note: We asked David how he got to know Adrian Lamo, and whether David knew Lamo before Lamo got arrested and started making headlines. David responded. "We exchanged several emails, I interviewed him for an article I was writing, and that was the beginning of our relationship. We talked about his case, hacking, why he did what he did, his family, etc. etc. I did know him before his arrest, [Hacker] Kevin Paulsen had been writing about his exploits and that is what got me going about him." -- Mitch Wagner
