To me the suggestion that his targeting for prosecution was as a result of his alleged involvement with Wikileaks.

Mashable may be leaving the 'not suicide' conspiracy theory open but I don't think that is what Wikileaks are suggesting.

That was my first reaction: -if- this were true, it would 'help' the DoJ 'explain' why the prosecution was so vigorous. (Tying Swartz to something they've spent years bad-jacketing.) A similar move is the claim he FOIA'd tapes of Manning in custody. Looks like the Big FUD Machine's running.

"the claim he FOIA'd tapes of Manning"

Is this true or not? I honestly have no idea.
