  • Join us as former CIA analyst John Kiriakou discusses ethics, terrorism, and torture with ABC News Correspondent Brian Ross. Buy a copy of Kiriakou's new memoir, "Doing Time Like a Spy," here: www.strandbooks.com/index.cfm?...
    Kiriakou spent the first eight years of his career in the CIA as a Middle East analyst specializing on Iraq. He maintained a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance. He learned Arabic and was assigned to the American Embassy in Bahrain. He eventually became CIA's Directorate of Operations. He became a counter-terrorism operations officer and worked on Eurocommunist terrorism.
    Kiriakou was named Chief of Counterterrorist Operations in Pakistan. In that position, he led a series of military raids on al-Qaeda safehouses, capturing dozens of al-Qaeda fighters. Kiriakou claims to have led a raid that captured Abu Zubaydah, then thought to be al-Qaeda’s third-ranking official. After all of this John Kiriakou was sent to prison, serving a thirty-month sentence for exposing the CIA’s use of torture on Al Qaeda prisoners.
    "Doing Time Like A Spy" is Kiriakou's memoir of his time in prison and is at once a critical journal of daily prison life and an intimate commentary on the federal prison system.
    John Kiriakou is a columnist with Reader Supported News. He was a CIA analyst and case officer, senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, counterterrorism consultant for ABC News, and author.
    Brian Ross is an investigative journalist who serves as Chief Investigative Correspondent for ABC News. He reports for ABC World News Tonight with David Muir, Nightline, Good Morning America, 20/20, and ABC News Radio. Ross' investigative reports have often covered government corruption.

    When I was 13 years old, I had an eighth-grade history teacher who said, “If you ever feel the desire to serve your country as an employee of the United States Government, do such an amazing job that you spend much of your life in prison.”

      That’s a pretty absurd thing to say, especially to a 13 year old. Give me a break.

    The irony is that Brian Ross is the idiot that started this whole debacle in the first place with his "press trick" of telling John to come down to tell his side of the story. John may not hold Brian responsible, but it pisses me off!

    Why couldn't you have appealed to move the venue?

      The motion I know of for that is improper venue. If it's the proper venue I'm not sure it can be moved.

    What's with this guy? I mean, I had a mad celeb crush on him, but he's all over the map. One example is how he starts this interview. He makes fun of Russiagate with one journalist, and then AGREES with this one in the first minute of the interview.

      He agrees with EVERYTHING, including most recently that both Dem and Rep parties are "Illuminati Motherf***ers", and that the RFID chip technology is the "mark of the beast."

    John why even live in America? They can turn against you in a blink of an eye. The hell with America.. I’m sure you and your family can find great jobs and have a happy live abroad. I say renounce your citizenship and live a happy life. America is not worth it...to much corruption. It’s only getting worse.
