E. F. Beall commented on the blog post President Obama Should Pardon, Not Imprison CIA Torture Whistleblower John Kiriakou
I signed, but only because I view the petition as part of the movement against the persecution of people like Bradley Manning. Notwithstanding the glorification of the CIA in two recent movies that won some Golden Globes and are up for Oscars too, it has amounted to a criminal gang at least since the 1953 overthrow of the democratically-elected government in Iran.
Kiriakou should have known better than to join it in the first place.
