works. He defended his involvement in torture, and now, as a former CIA operative, he tries to convince the gullible that he's persecuted.

Like I wrote last night....he's in prison. Not for torture, true. But I once had a client beat an attempted murder charge only to go to prison for perjury.

The victim was just as happy his ass was in prison.


FYI....kiriakou leaked the name of a covert operative to sell his 2010 book...and that's why he was charged. Did you think Scooter Libby should have gone free?

back up what you say? Thanks.

But I'll go with what the NY Times claims he was arrested for...thanks again...for nothing, because apparently you have nothing.

revealed to you....he leaked the name of a covert operative to sell a book. This, after his disgusting performance on 60 minutes....again...available on google.

Not my job to try and prove you right...that's the way the game is played.

Then again...those sources would contradict the narrative that Mr. Kiriakou has foisted on the gullible.

After countless hours of difficult and laborious searching, I found this bit carefully hidden in the 3rd paragraph of his Wikipedia entry:

I'm exhausted.

Local boy makes good.

If you're not spreading disinfo, go ahead post the video or some type of proof of him bragging about how well it works or defending the practice.

...for supporting torture. NOT for whistleblowing/telling media about it.

We are truly a F*cked Up Nation. (NOT F.U.N.)

Torturers collect a pension.

What's wrong with this picture of democracy?

in prison. In fact, HE DEFENDED WATERBOARDING!!! He is in jail for outing an undercover CIA officer. He received the same prison sentence as I. Scooter Libby did.

If John revealed the name of the CIA agent to his co-author, who kept the name secret to this day, how is that outing?

I can understand Scooter outed Valerie Plame, because all of America knows her history working undercover for the CIA because she was outed by Scooter Libby.

Can anybody here tell me the name of the CIA agent Kiriakou outed?

the name online.

He pled guilty to same.

Is the name of the CIA agent Kiriakou leaked to the reporter been revealed to the public?

My point is leaking the name to one reporter that kept it a secret is a lot less of an outing than Valerie Plame. Her outing resulted in the destruction of her false front field office and perhaps the murders of her undercover double agent contacts? And the end of her career. Has John's outing produced the same consequences for the specific CIA agent he outed?

And I'm not trying to be contentious. I just want to get a clear understanding for the reason John's in prison. If his leaks produced the same consequences as Scooter, then he should indeed be in prison.

I saw John on Olbermann and thought he was a good guy. I should also look at his 60 minutes interview. Anybody in the CIA that is in favor of torture for any reason is UN-American.

by AQ. The agent, and his operation, had to be pulled.

The federal judge who sentenced him under his plea deal noted that had he gone to trial she would have given him a lot more time... like decades.

And how naive are you to think that prosecutors don't cheat to get their victory in court. It's all they think about, because they all want to keep their crappy jobs.

How did the prosecutor cheat?

cheat, there was plenty of evidence. John admitted giving the names to the reporter, his defense was that he thought the reporter already knew the identities. Also, John lied to the CIA when he got clearance for writing his book and then laughed about having tricked them in an email. That charge was dropped when he took a plea.
