Welcome to the CIA where you come to serve your country that you never knew existed.

And the only ones paying the price for the CIA interrogations are Army interrogators, who weren't involved

Except he wasn't arrested for whistleblowing.
seemetrollinh8in
He was arrested for torturing. It wasn't whistleblowing as much as bragging about it
HanShotFirst39
He was arrested for disclosing classified information including an agent's real identity.

But the government tried to get him extradited from Hong Kong. So, they wanted to arrest him.
HanShotFirst39
He was arrested. He wasn't arrested for whitleblowing as the repost implies.

I don't condone the unethical practices he exposed, but I also don't think he should have been given a pass for breaking the law.
whyteraven74
Except the CIA did a shit job demonstrating he broke the law. The person they accused him of providing a name for, already got named by...
whyteraven74
someone else. Someone else who didn't get in any trouble at all.

He broke the law. However unsavory or unethical, the interrogator's actions were within the law at the time.

In prison for disclosing a CIA officer
whyteraven74
Except he didn't expose them. He just named someone, who had already been named by someone else.

it'd be nice to know what the nature of the exposure was. If he exposed a torturer, I don't feel he did anything wrong
sirrichardbottoms
Retaliation is what comes to mind. Should the family suffer for the actions/job of one family member.
actuallyMikeTyson
that's a fair point to consider
ThatNoPicklePeeThatNoPumpARum
A torturer who was ordered to do everything he did? Seems legit.

Nuremberg defense is not really a defense

The path to hell is paved with good intentions mate. Just because you see some evil guy with a fetish for torture doesnt mean thats the full

Just like Eric Snowden except he got the fuck out and the NSA doesn't even bother to hide from whom they spy on
