FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Kiriakou first came to public attention in an interview with ABC News in
December 2007 in which he became the first US official to describe how top
al-Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding, a technique
widely viewed as torture.
The former CIA operative acknowledged later in his memoir, however, that he
was not present when the interrogation took place.
A CIA intelligence officer between 1990 and 2004, Kiriakou was accused in the
indictment of leaking information to reporters anonymously identified as
“Journalist A” and “Journalist B.”
The charges stem from an investigation into classified information, including
photographs of a CIA official, that found its way into classified filings by
defense lawyers representing detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, the US naval
base in southern Cuba.
The indictment claims Kiriakou was a source of information for a June 2008 New
York Times article that identified a CIA operative and revealed other
classified information.
Kiriakou also was alleged to have lied to a CIA review board while he was
seeking permission to publish a book about his experience.
In the book, Kiriakou sought to include information about a “magic box,” which
was said to be a CIA scanning device allowing the agency to track al-Qaeda
suspects in Pakistan through their mobile phones.
He told the CIA review board that he had “fictionalised” that information when
in fact he had not. The “magic box” technique was also described in The New
York Times.
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.
