FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A federal grand jury in the US state of Virginia on Thursday charged John Kiriakou with one count of violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act for leaking the identity of a covert officer who worked with him on the capture of an “al-Qaeda suspect” in the months after the September 11, 2001 incident in the US.
The indictment also charged Kiriakou with three counts of violating the Espionage Act for allegedly illegally divulging national defense information to individuals not authorized to receive it.
The former CIA operative was also accused of making false statements to a CIA review board in an unsuccessful attempt to trick the agency into allowing him to include classified information in his 2010 book, The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA’s War on Terror.
He is scheduled to be arraigned April 13 , 2012 in a US District Court in Alexandria, Virgina. The charges of leaking secrets each carry a potential prison term of 10 years, while the false statements charge carries a possible five-year prison sentence.
Kiriakou, who served as a CIA intelligence officer between 1990 and 2004, was among the first US government officials to go public with details about CIA’s use of waterboarding of terrorism suspects, including the interrogation of Guantanamo Bay detainee Abu Zubaydah, to two journalists on multiple occasions between 2007 and 2009.
He was first charged in January with leaking secrets and remains free on a $250,000 bond.
