About this episode

John Kiriakou discusses the implications of the Senate's release of the torture report while reflecting on his impending release from prison.

IN THIS EPISODE At Loretto Federal Prison, John can almost see the light of his release date in the not-too-distant future. Returning to the Outside World will mean having to shed the prison persona John worked so hard to create - if only for survival purposes. Meanwhile in the outside world, the suibject of John's whistleblowing - the CIA's torture program - is finally getting its day in the court of public opinion as the Senate finally gets up the nerve to release its damning report on torture. Things are coming to a head. SHOW NOTES If you're enjoying this podcast, please check out the rest of our podcasts at Costard & Touchstone Productions.
