I haven't read too much of the chat logs, personally the fact that anyone would state two hackers communicated about sensitive information via AOL instant messenger doesn't make any sense to me. People have been calling for the full release of the transcripts, which for some reason people think only Lamo has a hold of. AIM has records.
Excerpt from AIM's Privacy Policy.
"Your AIM information, including the contents of your online communications, may be accessed and disclosed in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena), or in other circumstances in which AOL has a good faith belief that AIM or AOL are being used for unlawful purposes. AOL may also access or disclose your AIM information when necessary to protect the rights or property of AIM or AOL, or in special cases such as a threat to your safety or that of others."
So a court order would allow Manning's lawyer to obtain the documents, without having to deal with whatever Wired chooses to release.
