The US Intelligence Community knew what it was doing when it decided to bring on whacked out cyber agents and computer hackers like Julian Assange and Adrian Lamo.... Now, these two clowns are in a food fight and a legitimate Army source is criminally charged.... We previously exposed Assange's intelligence links going back to the Chaos Computer Club in Germany....and CIA/DIA.
