‘Osama bin Laden Won’ the War on Terror, Says Ex-CIA Analyst

The perennial American lack of foresight and the chaos its Middle Eastern wars have wreaked means Osama bin Laden and forces for extremism have essentially won the war on terror, a former CIA analyst tells Radio Sputnik’s Loud and Clear program.

Loud and Clear host Brian Becker was joined by John Kiriakou, a former CIA analyst who gained celebrity for confirming to the press that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had used waterboarding to interrogate al-Qaeda prisoners in 2007.
