The CIA agent who was fêon;ted by the torture apologists for saying torture worked... well, just as I said: he lied.

As reported by Foreign Policy, he's recanted.

Indeed. But after his one-paragraph confession, Kiriakou adds that he didn't have any first hand knowledge of anything relating to CIA torture routines, and still doesn't. And he claims that the disinformation he helped spread was a CIA dirty trick: "In retrospect, it was a valuable lesson in how the CIA uses the fine arts of deception even among its own."

I told you so.

I don't know that the information he spread was "a dirty trick". I think he was just eager to prove that torture works, and didn't do any real fact checking.
