ROOTS ACTION
A Note to RootsAction members from whistleblower John Kiriakou, who was the first CIA employee to publicly acknowledge an official U.S. policy of torture under George W. Bush’s administration:
I refused torture training.
I never tortured anyone, ordered torture, or destroyed the videotapes of it, and I’m certainly not on a book tour glorifying it.
Those are the people who should be going to jail, not me.
Please click below to ask Congress to investigate both the real crimes and the treatment of whistleblowers by the Obama administration.
Thank you!
— John Kiriakou
