OBAMA SENDS CIA WHISTLEBLOWER TO FEDERAL PRISON
THE EX-CIA AGENT WHO BLEW THE WHISTLE ON GEORGE BUSH'S CAMPAIGN OF TORTURE AND WATERBOARDING HAS BEEN SENT TO FEDERAL PRISON BY THE NEW TORTURER - IN -CHIEF: OBAMA
From his prison cell John Kiriakou has written an open letter to Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who has confirmed what most had feared, that our government is spying on the whole world, carte blanche. In a letter dated June 13, the imprisoned CIA vet salutes Snowden for his recent disclosures of classified documents detailing some of the vast surveillance programs operated by the United States’ N.ational S.ecurity A.gency.
“Thank you for your revelations of government wrongdoing over the past week,” Kiriakou writes. “You have done the country a great public service.” “I know that it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders right now, but as Americans begin to realize that we are devolving into a police state, with the loss of civil liberties that entails, they will see your actions for what they are: heroic.
Before Kiriakou pleaded guilty to one count of passing classified information to the media last year, the government charged him under the Espionage Act of 1917. He has equated the prosecution as retaliation for his own past actions, saying the charge was the result of exposing truths about the George W. Bush administration’s use of waterboarding and nine other forms of torture as interrogation tools during his presidency. As in the case of Snowden, Kiriakou’s supporters have hailed him as a whistleblower , not a common criminal. Kiriakou goes on to encourage Snowden toward garnering support within members of Congress and other institutions capable of calling attention to his case, such as the American Civil Liberties Union. Before he concludes, however, he bestows on Snowden what he calls “the most important advice I can offer.”
“DO NOT, under any circumstances, cooperate with the FBI,” Kiriakou warns Snowden. “FBI agents will lie, trick and deceive you. They will twist your words and play on your patriotism to entrap you. They will pretend to be people they are not — supporters, well-wishers and friends — all the while wearing wires to record your out-of-context statements to use against you. The FBI is the enemy; it’s a part of the problem, not the solution.
