Mr. Kiriakou first stumbled into the public limelight by speaking out about waterboarding on television in 2007, quickly becoming a source for national security journalists,

I’m not up on this but if that is true, I hope he enjoys his 30 month honeymoon with “Bubba”. He definitely was not CIA material.

The Obama DOJ has prosecuted more leaks than anyone else in modern U.S. history.

Yup. He will WISH waterboarding was his only problem once he meets Bubba.

There is no such thing as a ‘relaxed chat’ with the FBI or any LEO. The only reply for a request to chat is, “charge me & you can chat with my lawyer.”

Obama is the one who should be in prison.

I once spoke confidentially to a reporter-—Big mistake, Nothing is confidential to them
Never again. Reporters can KMA they are only a little lower on the snake scale top Lawyers.

Since when did leaking classified or sensitive information become a problem?
I've done it throughout my career and I'm a virtual hero to my voters!

Should have kept his mouth shut and done his job. You reap what you sow.

Say only 3 things after a self-defense shooting:
1) I was in direct fear for my life,
2) I want to speak with my attorney,
3) That’s all I have to say.

Well that was a somewhat interesting article.
1. The guy is a blabbermouth (not entirely unusual)
2. He liked working for the CIA and did some good things but had mixed reviews
3. He seemed to like hobknobbing with journalists even more than his former job
4. He wrote a book but still owes his lawyers 500k
5. He provided a name of an agent (and probably a lot more info) to a journalist:
If Id known the guy was still under cover, Mr. Kiriakou said, I would never have mentioned him. Near the end of the article he notes wryly that his fervent supporters now include both the Liberty [University] Christians and an array of left-wing activists.

Obama is the one who should be in prison. No, they should share a cell because the guy will probably talk Obama to death. One plausible point of the prosecution is that Obama (and Holder) want to gain some control over the CIA which includes people to the right and left. This guy happens to be towards the left (although it is hard to pin down). It is pretty clear that he blabbed some classified info and was rightfully prosecuted.

Rape on a honeymoon. That’s weird. I guess it’s a liberal thing.

He should have known better;
DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE.
