John Kiriakou

About

John Kiriakou is a former CIA officer best known for his 2007 public statements about the agency's use of waterboarding and his subsequent 2012 conviction for disclosing classified information, including the identity of a covert officer, which led to a prison sentence. He is frequently described as a CIA whistleblower and now works as a commentator and frequent cable/podcast guest. On No Agenda, the hosts track his media appearances closely, treating him as a recurring source on intelligence-community storylines while increasingly questioning his credibility and motives.</paragraph> <parameter name="pull_quotes">["I'm going to start collecting his character assassination clips", "I've now concluded he's a pathological liar", "he was actually busted for revealing classified information and outing agents"]
