How The CIA Lied About The FBI To Get Its Torture Program

 Former CIA Analyst John Kiriakou explains how the CIA lied about the FBI in order to get its torture program through.

John Kiriakou (https://twitter.com/JohnKiriakou) is a former CIA analyst and case officer, and counterterrorism consultant. Upon leaving the CIA, Kiriakou was the first whistleblower to reveal the torture policy practiced by the US government. While employed by the CIA he was involved in critical counterterrorism missions following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. He refused to be trained in “enhanced interrogation techniques” and never authorized or engaged in these, however he is the only person to have served prison time for revealing that there was a torture program. He was the 6th whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act, a law that was supposed to punish spies not whistleblowers. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** On Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpe...
