Days after he was sentenced to 30 months in prison, John Kiriakou - the first CIA official to be jailed for any reason relating to the torture program - appears on Democracy Now! to denounce President Obama's appointment of John Brennan to head the CIA. "I've known John Brennan since 1990," Kiriakou says. "I worked directly for John Brennan twice. I think that he is a terrible choice to lead the CIA. I think that it's time for the CIA to move beyond the ugliness of the post-September 11th regime. We need someone who is going to respect the Constitution and not be bogged down by a legacy of torture."
