Today we are joined by John Kiriakou - CIA Whistleblower and former intelligence analyst and operations officer for the CIA's Counterterrorism Center - he was integral in exposing the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program in 2007 and did some time for it. For the audience, a rough outline - the legacy of the Iraq War, US/Israel relations and the current internal administration drama about the Iran Nuclear Deal, and the expansion of Guantanamo bay and the CECOT prison in El Salvatore. As the kids say, it’s giving extraordinary rendition. You can follow John here: https://www.instagram.com/realjohnkiriakou/ https://x.com/JohnKiriakou https://unifyd.tv/pages/johnkiriakou-new
