Two months ago, the Justice Department announced that it would not charge any of the CIA agents who tortured detainees during the Bush administration. But they did prosecute one agent: John Kiriakou, the man who blew the whistle on the interrogation procedures. Earlier this week, Kiriakou pleaded guilty to leaking the identity of one of his colleagues. In 2007 Kirakou described in an interview that waterboarding is torture, but also suggested it was necessary. He said that he is involved in an intellectual battle with himself weighing the idea that waterboarding may be torture versus the quality of information that is often gained after using the waterboarding technique. He will be sentenced to more than two years in prison. This is the first time in 27 years that the Intelligence Activities Act has been successfully used to convict.
