We Don’t Need the CIA | The Chris Hedges Report

Chris Hedges and John Kiriakou discuss the CIA, how it has evolved, how it sees its mission, what it does, how it works, and the effects of its clandestine operations around the globe.

John Kiriakou worked for the CIA from 1990 to 2004, first as an analyst, and later as a counterterrorism operations officer overseas in Bahrain, Athens, and Pakistan, where he was the CIA’s Chief of Counterterrorist Operations.

He became the sixth whistleblower indicted under the Espionage Act by the Obama administration and was sent to prison for two and a half years.
