Product Facts: When John Kiriakou graduated with a degree in Middle Eastern studies in 1988, he expected to find a job in academia. Instead, it was the CIA who was hiring. Though a “reluctant spy,” this now retired CIA analyst, operations officer, and chief of counter-terrorism in Pakistan offers a unique perspective into a wide array of CIA activities in the current War on Terror. From the Iraqi-Kuwaiti desk during the first Gulf War to leading a raid that captured an al-Qaeda chief in Pakistan, John Kiriakou has been on the fault lines and at the frontlines of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East. Oh, and did we mention that whole torture thing? He might have a few words to share there too.
