Article Photos: Ex-CIA officer sentenced for leaking information



In this Oct. 23, 2012 file photo, former CIA officer John Kiriakou leaves U.S. District Courthouse in Alexandria, Va. Kiriakou was sentenced Friday to more than two years in prison by a federal judge who rejected arguments that he was acting as a whistleblower when he leaked a covert officer's name to a reporter. A plea deal required the judge to impose a sentence of 2½ years. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said she would have given Kiriakou much more time if she could. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)
