Former CIA officer John Kiriakou is the only CIA employee connected to its interrogation program to go to prison. But he was prosecuted for providing information to reporters, not for anything connected to waterboarding or other actions that today’s Senate Intelligence Committee report calls “torture.”

No other person connected to the program has been charged with a crime, after the Justice Department said their actions had been approved legally or that there was not sufficient admissible evidence in a couple cases of potential wrongdoing, even in light of the death of two detainees in the early 2000s.

Today the Justice Department said that the Senate Intelligence report didn’t provide new information that would lead them to reopen any of the old cases.

1. It seems to be standard procedure for this country

Procecute those that tell what wrong and allow the wrong to increase!

2. Kiriakou bragged that torture worked, and pled guilty to releasing the name

of a CIA agent in the field...the same crime Scooter Libby was convicted of.

I'm glad that torture apologist is in jail.

Mr. Kiriakou's long con has been debunked before.....it may sell on FDL, but not at DU...
