Former CIA official turned whistleblower John Kiriakou will give a talk entitled, “The American Legacy of Torture,” at 7 p.m. in 210 Park Shops Thursday. Kiriakou served a 30-month prison sentence in 2013 as part of a plea deal after exposing the CIA’s torture program. Kariakou was the first U.S. official to confirm that torture was official policy and that the policy was approved by the president.
