John Kiriakou – Enhanced Techniques & Whistleblowing

John Kiriakou knows from personal experience what it’s like to be
imprisoned when you shouldn’t be. He was a CIA analyst and case
officer from 1990 to 2004. In December 2007, John was the first
former CIA officer to confirm that the CIA indeed waterboarded
prisoners and had a torture program – approved at the highest
levels of our government. As a result, Kiriakou spent eighteen
months in federal prison – despite the fact that he never tortured
anyone. John's background coupled with Pete A Turner's experience
in the field ought to give us a fantastic episode with notes and
experiences shared at the professional level. When the US goes
abroad, it's awfully tough to make it behave or make fewer
mistakes.
