Here's the latest fromthe Washington Post,on the Espionage Act, Intelligence Identities Protection Act, and false statements case against John Kiriakou, the former CIA officer who helped capture Abu Zubaydah:
Lawyers for a former CIA officer accused of leaking the names of covert operatives have told a judge that they will need to expose a wide array of government secrets to provide an adequate defense for their client at trial. Court records unsealed Tuesday in federal court in Alexandria show that lawyers for former CIA officer John Kiriakou want to reveal details of the CIA’s capture of al-Qaida operative Abu Zubaydah, further details about the life of one of the exposed covert operatives, information about alleged CIA discussions on the use of contractors to torture detainees and other classified information.
