Campaign for Release of Whistleblower John KiriakouCatherine J. Frompovich John has been in the Federal Correctional Institution in Loretto, Pennsylvania, since February 2013 sentenced as a whistleblower for exposing the waterboarding of al-Qaeda prisoners that was taking place in Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. For that humane and heroic act, John got the book thrown at him by the Obama administration when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison on January 25, 2013. Readers can learn more about John Kiriakou, an amazingly intelligent and compassionate human being, by reading his profile at Wikipedia. [2] Writing to John over the past months, I learned that he and I have much in common on a personal level, even though Im old enough to be his mother. We have similar religious backgrounds and even lived within a few miles of each other when my late husband and I lived in Northern Virginia. Both of us are native Pennsylvanians. John and I even celebrate birthdays within a week of each other. Ive come to think very kindly of John and empathize with his plight going to prison when those who did the crime dont get the time, but got off scott-free! In Johns last letter to me October 4th, part of which I will share with readers below, he tells great news that echoes of what similarly is posted on Wikipedia, Would readers like to help out in getting John Kiriakou, a true American folk herocertainly the federal government does not consider him a heroreleased earlier from prison? I certainly would hope so, and even would consider it a favor if readers would write letters to the people John lists in his letter, plus contacting readers respective members of Congress, which you can access here http://www.contactingthecongress.org/. John has five kiddies at home waiting for the return of their daddy. He tells me that when he gets out, he expects to teach again at Liberty University in Virginia. Id like to see that happen sooner than later. Thanks for whatever you can do. Notes: [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kiriakou [2] Ibid. [3] Ibid.
