John Kiriakou is a former CIA analyst, case officer, counterterrorism expert, and one of the most consequential whistleblowers in modern American history. Serving with the CIA from 1990 to 2004, Kiriakou risked his life in dangerous assignments across the globe, including leading the capture of high-ranking al-Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah in Pakistan following the 9/11 attacks. Though offered training in the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation techniques,” Kiriakou refused—and years later, he became the first former CIA officer to confirm publicly that waterboarding was being used and to unequivocally call it what it was: torture.

His 2007 interview with ABC News stunned the nation and made headlines around the world. Kiriakou revealed that torture was not the work of rogue agents, but official policy approved at the highest levels of the U.S. government. For that act of truth-telling, he was targeted by the Justice Department and eventually became the sixth whistleblower charged under the Espionage Act by the Obama administration. He served 30 months in federal prison—not for torture, but for exposing it.

Today, Kiriakou is a sought-after author, journalist, and commentator on intelligence and national security. He remains the only CIA officer to be imprisoned in relation to the U.S. torture program—not for committing abuses, but for daring to expose them. Honored with awards for civil courage and peace advocacy, Kiriakou continues to fight for transparency, accountability, and the rights of whistleblowers.

This gripping and courageous story is a testament to the cost of conscience and the enduring power of truth. John Kiriakou didn’t just work in the shadows—he shined a light into them, and paid the price. His voice is more vital now than ever.
