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 2Â½ years. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said she would have given Kiriakou much more time if she could.
