Episode 388: CIA Torture Whistleblower John Kiriakou Talks About the American Left

36 Minutes Suitable for All Ages Pete invited the man who blew the whistle on the CIA torture program, John Kiriakou, to come on the show and discuss the different factions on the America Left. They also discuss the Democratic primaries and who can beat trump in the coming November election, as well as how they see party politics going forward if Bernie doesn't get the nomination John Kiriakou is a former CIA operative and senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. A target of the Obama administration’s war on whistleblowers, he remains the only US official to serve time behind bars after revelations of CIA “enhanced interrogation” practices, despite openly opposing the torture program. He maintains that his case was about exposing torture, not leaking information, adding, he “would do it all over again.”  CIA Insider's Guide to the Iran Crisis: From CIA Coup to the Brink of War Loud and Clear Link to Richard Grove's Autonomy Course TakeHumanAction.com Donate at the Libertarian Institute Pete's Link to Sign Up for the LP Lions of Liberty Podcast Pete's Patreon Pete's Books on Amazon Pete's Books Available for Crypto Pete on Facebook Pete on Twitter
