Former CIA Intelligence Officer - John Kiriakou

Former CIA agent John Kiriakou went public with the truth about water-boarding. He says he is a scapegoat for the US government.

Stephen Sackur talks to John Kiriakou, the former CIA agent who played a key role in anti-terror operations after 9/11 and later went public with the truth about water-boarding. He was imprisoned for leaking the names of two CIA agents and is currently on federal probation. He says he is a truth teller scapegoated by the US Government - but he betrayed a trust - should that carry a heavy price?
