奧巴馬政府起訴另一名告密者
2012-04-10

The war on whistleblowers rages on and the Obama administration adds one more causality to the war on government transparency. On Thursday, former CIA official John Kiriakou was indicted for allegedly leaking information to journalists. Kiriakou is no rookie to whistleblowing; he exposed the CIA's use of waterboarding on terror suspects. If convicted, Kiriakou could receive a maximum of 45 years in prison for the five-count indictment including three charges under the Espionage Act.Stephen Kohn, author of The Whistleblower's Handbook, joins us with his take on Kiriakou's case.
就告密者的戰爭仍然肆虐和奧巴馬政對府政府透明度的戰爭增加一層因果關係。在上週四，前中情局官員約翰Kiriakou被起訴涉嫌向記者洩露信息，kiriakou對告密並不是新手，他暴露過中情局對恐怖嫌疑人使用水刑。如果罪名成立，Kiriakou可能為五項指控得到最高45年的徒刑，其中包括三項間諜法下的罪名。告密者手冊的作者史提芬科恩，帶着他就Kiriakou個案的立場加入我們。
