The Justice Department has charged former CIA agent, John Kiriakou with disclosing classified information to journalists about the capture and "enhanced interrogation", or as we call it torture, of suspected Al Qaeda members to members of the press. This is now the 6th time that the Obama administration is going after someone with charges of espionage, before this administration, there were only 3 such cases in history. Emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler discusses.

  • My main question is that 'outing a CIA agent' is not specifically part of the Espionage Act. Unless you consider a non-undercover CIA agent identity "national defense information", which is probably not going to fly with a jury.
