John Kiriakou and the CIA removing Abu Zubaydah's left eye
Integrated into the article:
John Kiriakou is a former CIA counterterrorism officer who was the only CIA officer sentenced in the CIA's enhanced interrogation program. Kiriakou was sentenced to 2 years prison for exposing the CIA's enhanced interrogation program. While in CIA custody, Zubaydah previously damaged left eye was surgically removed.[1][2]
This seems unrelated to the context where you placed it in the article. What's the point? Wtmitchell(talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I note that this source asserts that Kiriakou was sentenced to 30 months in prison for leaking the name of a former CIA officer alleged to have taken part in waterboarding. That's not quite that same thing you describe as "exposing the CIA's enhanced interrogation program", but I haven't seen the source you cite. There's a bit more detail here, but I'm not completely clear on what information besides that agent's name he was charged with and convicted of improperly disclosing. Wtmitchell(talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 04:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)\[reply]
The discrepancies mentioned above about what he was convicted of are explained between the 11 minute and the 15 minute points of this video. I'm removing the paragraph you inserted. Wtmitchell(talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 06:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
