“It’s been one year since former CIA analyst and counterterrorism officer John Kiriakou was sentenced to prison for 30 months, the first American official to do time for the government’s torture policies during the Global War on Terror.”

According to the article, Kiriakou got 30 pretty hard months for blowing the cover of a CIA undercover agent he believed was engaged in unlawful activities. Kiriakou told the NYT he did not believe the CIA agent was working undercover and wouldn’t have revealed the agent’s identity if he had known.
Kiriakou and his family are being punished, pretty badly. Goes to show (again) you better not trip on the law in challenging “national security.”
