    interview on ABC admitting that the CIA was using

    waterboarding as a form of torture on inmates in GuantanamoBay. In 2010, released a memoir entitled The Reluctant Spy:

    My Secret Life in the CIAs War on Terror.

    In 2012 he was charged with repeatedly disclosing classified

    information to the press. He originally plead not guilty to the

    charges but in October of 2012 he accepted a deal to plead

    guilty, sparing reporters he had talked to from having to testify

    in the trial. He was sentenced to 30 months in prison in

    January of 2013.

    The Justice Departments actions have created huge pressures

    on John and his family. John and Heather have five children

    the youngest is just over a year oldand they face the

    challenge of raising them while simultaneously fighting the

    CIA, FBI, and Justice Department. To help them, Friends of

    John Kiriakou have established a trust for the John Kiriakou

    Support Fund. Every penny of contributions go directly to John

    to help him with his more than $1 million in legal bills and to

    help feed and clothe his children. He is permitted to receive

    mail from anyone, and soft cover books and magazines only

    Tyler Lang and Kevin Olliff are two Los Angeles

    animal rights activists who were arrested in ruralIllinois for possession of burglary tools. After atraffic stop in which they refused consent to a

    police search, their car was searched anyway.

    Inside, police allege they found bolt cutters, wire

    cutters, muriatic acid, ski masks, and camo

    clothing.

    Police believe these items were burglary tools

    intended to be used in a crime, and arrested Kevinand Tyler. The two are held on felony charges

    which carry up to 3 years in prison. They haveremained in jail since their arrest on August 14th.

    There is no evidence linking them to any crime orintended crime, nor were they arrested on

    anyones property, and their history as animaladvocates is the only basis for these serious felony

    charges.
