Today, John Kiriakou is an author and a journalist but not long ago, he was a CIA counterterrorism officer and a senior investigator with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It was in this roll that John became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act – a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in prison as a result of his attempts to oppose the Bush administration's torture program.
