Or the woman she played in Zero Dark Thirty should be according to a new report. She is cited in the unredacted CIA torture report as giving misinformation on the interrogation program to Congress.
The expert is no stranger to controversy. She was criticized after 9/11 terrorist attacks for countenancing a subordinate's refusal to share the names of two of the hijackers with the FBI prior to the terror attacks.....

But instead of being sanctioned, she was promoted.The expert already survived one controversy; she came under harsh criticism after a subordinate on the bin Laden unit refused to share the names of two the 9/11 hijackers — Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi — with the FBI prior to the attacks, which was considered by the 9/11 Commission as a key intelligence failure. It is unclear if she was ever reprimanded for her role in the incident.

But one former intelligence officer who worked directly with her at the time said the expert bears direct responsibility for the intelligence failures prior to 9/11 and should have faced consequences.

"She should be put on trial and put in jail for what she has done," the former officer said.Bombshell report from NBC (http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/12/18/27623075-bin-laden-expert-accused-of-shaping-cia-deception-on-torture-program?d=1).
A top al Qaeda expert who remains in a senior position at the CIA was a key architect of the agency's defense of its detention and "enhanced interrogation" program for suspected terrorists, developing oft-repeated talking points that misrepresented and overstated its effectiveness, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee's report released last week.

The report singles out the female expert as a key apologist for the program, stating that she repeatedly told her superiors and others — including members of Congress — that the "torture" was working and producing useful intelligence, when it was not. She wrote the "template on which future justifications for the CIA program and the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques were based," it said.

The big fight with the CIA and the Senate in the last few months was over the use of pseudonyms vs redactions. The CIA found to have redactions. If they had used pseudonyms it would be more likely to see that the same woman was the one making mistakes/giving misinformation, etc.

She is now the head of the the "C.I.A.

I've never truly understood why folks think Kirakou was a whistleblower. His jail sentence was for leaking the name of a CIA covert operative to journalists, that's a pretty big No-No.

More importantly for me, is he first became known to the public by defending and misleading about the torture program in 2007. How misleading? He was the guy who provided the talking points that the Cheney/Limbaugh axis use to this day.
“It works, is the bottom line,” Rush Limbaugh exclaimed on his radio show the next day. “Thirty to 35 seconds, and it works.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/28/business/media/28abc.html?pagewanted=all[QUOTE]On Dec. 10, John Kiriakou, a former C.I.A. officer who had participated in the capture of the suspected terrorist Abu Zubaydah in Pakistan in 2002, appeared on ABC News to say that while he considered waterboarding a form of torture, the technique worked and yielded results very quickly.

Mr. Zubaydah started to cooperate after being waterboarded for “probably 30, 35 seconds,” Mr. Kiriakou told the ABC reporter Brian Ross. “From that day on he answered every question.”

His claims — unverified at the time, but repeated by dozens of broadcasts, blogs and newspapers — have been sharply contradicted by a newly declassified Justice Department memo that said waterboarding had been used on Mr. Zubaydah “at least 83 times.”

Some critics say that the now-discredited information shared by Mr. Kiriakou and other sources heightened the public perception of waterboarding as an effective interrogation technique. “I think it was sanitized by the way it was described” in press accounts, said John Sifton, a former lawyer for Human Rights Watch, an advocacy group./QUOTE]

You still see nonsense like this all around the web

However, the only reason Kiriakou was on TV in DECEMBER 2007 was because the waterboarding scandal was already public for years. The head of the CIA was asked about it in November 2005 (http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=1356870).
History of an Interrogation Technique: Water Boarding
Nov. 29, 2005
CIA Director Porter Goss maintained this week that the CIA does not employ methods of torture. In doing so, he opened a new debate over exactly what constitutes torture -- especially when it comes to the harshest of the CIA's six secret interrogation techniques, known as "water boarding."

....The CIA maintains its interrogation techniques are in legal guidance with the Justice Department. And current and former CIA officers tell ABC News there is a presidential finding, signed in 2002, by President Bush, Condoleezza Rice and then-Attorney General John Ashcroft approving the techniques, including water boarding.



Weeks earlier, the nomination of Michael Mukasey as attorney general was nearly derailed by his refusal to comment on the legality of waterboarding, and one day later, the C.I.A. director testified about the destruction of interrogation videotapes. Mr. Kiriakou told MSNBC that he was willing to talk in part because he thought the C.I.A. had “gotten a bum rap on waterboarding.”Kiriakou was not a whistleblower, he defending the program only after he got permission from the CIA to speak publicly about it.

The crime he plead guilty however, was revealing a covert operative's name. He said he thought the person was retired and had he known he was still active he wouldn't have revealed the name.

So they are making her the scapegoat. Not surprising. If everybody points at 1 person, they hope that relieves them of their own responsibilities in the matter.
