Boston University’s BUILDS hacker space.

Frontline, which is airing a documentary about Manning and WikiLeaks on 
May 24, has obtained a video showing Manning at the party. [Disclosure: 
Threat Level's Kevin Poulsen and Kim Zetter were interviewed for the 
documentary.]

Threat Level last June. ”That was something I think he was struggling 
with.”

The video shows Manning at the BUILDS party, small in stature compared

friend Danny Clark (in a red t-shirt at Manning’s left).
