Update on Whistleblower John KiriakouCatherine J. Frompovich Even though Johns whistleblowing happened during the Bush-Cheney administration, it was the Obama administration that prosecuted him, apparently to make an example of Mr. Kiriakou for others to note what happens to whistleblowers. I have written about John a couple of times: Whistleblowers, Prison, and More and Campaign for Release of Whistleblower John Kiriakou. In this article, Id like to share some very good news regarding my friend John Kiriakou. Ill share what he wrote in the letter I just received: I had some great news this week. The Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County, CA, gave me their 2014 Peacemaker of the Year Award. The Executive Director will accept it on my behalf on November 9. I wish I could be there. Thanks again for thinking of me! Its always great hearing from you. Congratulations! John. Im so very proud of you, as Im certain your wife, family, and friends are too. However, in my humbler opinion, ALL whistleblowers should be honored for the risks they take knowingly to expose the crimes of government, science, medicine, law, and any segment of society where the dirty, hidden secrets that affect our lives are plotted and carried out.
