CIA whistleblower
visited The Whistleblower
today. In the 2000’s, John blew the whistle on the US’s secret torture program in Guantanamo Bay and various black sites around the world. Kiriakou later won the 2012 Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage, which is awarded to “national security whistleblowers who stood up for constitutional rights and US values, at great risk to their personal and professional lives”. In 2016, he was awarded the Sam Adams Award. Also in 2016, he was given the prestigious PEN First Amendment Award by the PEN Center USA. Great to have John call by. John pictured with writer and Whistleblower bossman Art O’Connor. We’re looking forward to hosting many more whistleblowers once we finally open our doors in the coming weeks.
