Former CIA officer John Kiriakou reveals the true cost of exposing torture, legal battles, prison time, and life after whistleblowing.
In Part Two of Dr. Phil's conversation with John Kiriakou, the former CIA officer who blew the whistle on torture, we dive deeper into the personal and political fallout of speaking truth to power. Kiriakou opens up about the realities of the Whistleblower Protection Act, the harsh consequences of challenging the CIA, and his time in federal prison. He and Dr. Phil also confront the rise of government surveillance and privacy concerns, and reflect on how U.S. policy shifted in the wake of 9/11.
Now an advocate and author, Kiriakou shares what drives his work today and the lessons learned from paying the ultimate price for exposing hidden truths.
👉 A gripping episode on courage, consequence, and the fight for accountability.
