“John Kiriakou’s supposed offense – for which he was originally charged under the 1917 Espionage Act, which provides for the death penalty – was to speak critically of the torture program and identify one of the officials involved in it. Kiriakou, one of six officials being prosecuted by the Obama administration for ‘leaking’ information about the government’s crimes, accepted a plea bargain because he has five children. That fact, to use Jessen’s terminology, made him ‘exploitable.’ Accordingly, while the architect of the torture program, Bruce Jessen, will now hold forth from a Mormon pulpit, a whistleblower will spend at least 2 1/2 years in prison.”
