The war against whistleblowers in the United States continues to intensify after ex CIA agent Jeffrey Sterling was charged with nine counts of allegedly revealing confidential information about a top secret mission regarding the nuclear pact with Iran. The FBI says that Jeffrey Sterling was the source for the New York Times journalist James Risen’s “State of War.” At a Thursday press conference, his wife Polly Sterling denounced his imprisonment and called on President Barack Obama to grant him an immediate pardon based on his innocence.
