2. This is absolute bullshit. John Kiriakou wasn't jailed for exposing the program, he didn't even know

of a waterboarding program. He only thought it happened once. But regardless, that isn't what he went to jail for. He went to jail for:

On January 23, 2012, Kiriakou was charged with repeatedly disclosing classified information to journalists, including the name of a covert CIA officer and information revealing the role of another CIA employee, Deuce Martinez, in classified activities.[23][24][25] In addition to leaking the names and roles of CIA officers, Kiriakou was alleged to have lied to the CIA to get his book published.[26]

On January 25, 2013, Kiriakou was sentenced to 30 months in prison, making him the second CIA officer to be jailed for revealing classified material of CIA undercover identities.[9]


The guy is a total d-bag. Stop reading the propaganda and read a little more about him. He cares about himself only. If you were appalled at the releasing of Valarie Plame's info you should be equally appalled at what this guy did. It was the same thing.
