On Wednesday, September 12th, former CIA agent John Kiriakou goes on trial in the only prosecution to date connected with the Bush administration’s torture program.  But John Kiriakou didn’t torture anyone.  He blew the whistle on those that did.  WBAI's Andrea Sears spoke with Peter Van Buren, a former state department official, government whistleblower and author of “We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People”.
