Blowing the whistle on the CIA’s illegal torture
program
John Kiriakou, the 14-year former CIA veteran sentenced to
two-and-a-half years in federal prison after disclosing the agency’s torture
program, was released Tuesday to serve the rest of his sentence under house
arrest.
Kiriakou was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison over his decision
to reveal details about the CIA’s post-9/11 torture tactics to the press, a
disclosure that also leaked the name of a covert officer. His sentence began
February 28, 2013, at the Loretto Federal Correctional Institution near
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and will officially finish in August 2015.
