Fireside: Fmr CIA John Kiriakou Indicted under Espionage Act

Alyona talks about the case of former CIA agent John Kiriakou who just this week was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on five counts. Those include violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, making false statements, and violating the Espionage Act. The Justice Department is going after Kiriakou for releasing classified information to journalists that included the identities of a covert CIA officer and information on the role of another CIA employee in classified actives. They're also going after Kirakou for allegedly turning over pictures and the name of a CIA officer to defense lawyers of a detainee at Guantanamo Bay. This is the 6th person under the Obama administration to be indicted under the Espionage Act. Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: www.facebook.com
