Marcello Rollando Talks CIA Torture with John Kiriakou

John Kiriakou is considered the first US intelligence officer to reveal information about the US intelligence community’s use of torture techniques. John became chief of counterterrorist operations in Pakistan following the September 11 attacks acting as a senior operations officer. His tour culminated in the March 2002 with the capture of Abu Zubaydah, al-Qa’ida’s third-ranking official.

When he returned from Pakistan, John was named Executive Assistant to the CIA’s Deputy Director for Operations. In that capacity, John was the principal Iraq briefer for the Director of Central Intelligence.

John then became senior investigator on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after a brief time in the private sector, where he focused on international terrorism, piracy, and counternarcotics.  Additionally, John served as senior intelligence advisor to the Committee’s chairman, Senator John Kerry.

Following his service on the Hill, John became an intelligence and counterterrorism consultant and author. John Kiriakou is featured in “AI WEIWEI: YOURS TRULY”, the feature length documentary film directed by Cheryl Haines, which will have its New York Premiere at DOC NYC 2019.
