Agree - something about the setting of the interview, the pace, the lighting, the set itself...it altogether leaves you on the edge of your seat - really well done!

@@snowbear163 No, the illegal CIA torture program. He didn't disclose anything that wasn't already public knowledge at that time and the FBI concluded he didn't break any laws.

@user-qg8cj4zh5r 100% I have already watched these two long a$$ interviews. Dalton does a great job of interviewing a guy that has already been interviewed and asked 100 questions.
The CIA and MI6 have caused more death and harm to the people of this world than is imaginable and you thank him: fool. They created most of the "terrorist" groups around the world and are definitely the worlds most dangerous drug cartel. The world would be a much better place if Kennedy had been able to break them up.

more like lazy fuck who maybe out of his depth (of conversation). it is wise to keep quite but I doubt it is anything other than he simply has nothing to say.
A very good friend of mine is from Pakistan. I spoke to him about UBL being found in his country and asked “do you think your government knew he was there?” He flat out said “of course they did, they were helping to hide him. The corruption there runs deep.” It was chilling to hear that. That a country who is supposed to help us is holding a carrot in front of our agents…
When President Clinton fired cruise missiles at Al Qieda targets in Pakistan, he called the Pakistani Government to inform them of the intrusion into their airspace (as they are obligated to do). The Pakistani Government called the terrorists and told them in advance.

@@PureMagma Pretty much but at least it's interesting. I now question his judgement since I saw a subsequent podcast where he admitted that he thinks Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius and Borat is brilliant content. Gotta be kidding me, the sh!+ he was out doing in the middle east was suicidal. I think the only thing that saved him is that nobody involved wanted to be on video retiring him.
@@PureMagma Yeah, this is going nowhere. I'm getting tired of looking at his bent index finger. I'm nursing a bourbon and water. I'll sit here for a while. He's not getting any points from me.
Good luck with the new channel. Well done interview. Hard to do bad with John K telling stories. He’s a great storyteller. His honesty and humble attitude makes for a great story.
Congratulations on your new channel. This episode was spellbinding, with second by second suspense narration that keeps the audience at the edge of the chair.
Since its a CIA story everything is a little bit different in reality i bet. Also what the hell does cia wants with Bin Laden sons? All while his nephew is driving 20+ mil $ Mclaren F1 that he bought from ... Mr Bean - no kidding.
This is definitely one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time, and lately I’ve seen some other interviews that Ive thought the same about but until now after watching this I can say this is something special that hasn’t been seen before, I couldn’t stop watching and he was so clear about everything that I wanted it to finish. Thank you for this opportunity thank you but also thank you for this amazing man’s work.
I just love that people criticize this guy from their couch in Indianapolis when they have no idea about or any experience with intelligence, Pakistan, terrorism, or even the CIA. Let the guy tell his story.
I feel the same. Certain topics draw trolls period! Custer! Alamo! And spycraft bring out all wannabe s for some reason! Arrogant dismissive and clueless!
Very similar look and feel to Shawn Ryan show. But this is not a bad thing, as Shawn is in my opinion among one of the top creators going into 2024 as far as quality content. If you have any more interviews that were as good as this one, I easily see 1M subs in your future. Keep up the good work!!! Much Love my dawg!
Bro it’s so different. Those guys BARLEY ask any questions, and are total re tards when it comes to asking legitimate questions. “Alex the great” with the stupidest observation ever
Surprised this wasn’t the first comment. Agree on all points. Nice to see quality work right of out of the gates and Shawn is the one to draw inspiration from imho.
Shawn Ryan is the worst interviewer on any of these podcasts. Its all about the quality if the questions you ask your subject and Ryan is really awful. Great guests but awful interviewer.
U.S. intelligence concluded that while Abu Zubaydah was a militant in Afghanistan in the 1980s and ’90s, he had never joined Al Qaeda and had no link to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Normally I don’t care for these rambling, “shaggy dog” stories. But this story was SO WELL told, he held me for 20 plus minutes. That hasn’t happened in a long time. THANK YOU
Why is he entitled to a court trial? He isn't on US soil. He isn't a US citizen. He is a terrorist who had no problem participating in killing others. Now you think the USA is a mess? That really says something about your direction.
Note: there have been multiple sources challenging Kiriakou's version of catching Abu Zubaydah. For one they (Grenier et others) claim he wasn't in Faisalabad when Zubaydah was captured. That's a pretty major point.
I just wish you didn't use clickbait on your thumbnail (Maya from Zero Dark Thirty) where it's not related at all. Good interview and great content nonetheless.

@@DaltonFischerPodcastI agree completely. I’ve seen quite a number of channels going this route and I do not care for it. If the content is good it will keep people who you are targeting. The intro ruins the flow of the body of work. I find myself not paying attention when I am re-hearing information and lose interest.
Like all great interviewers (Joe Rogan, Michael Franzese, etc) you have the gift of letting your guest talk while you patiently listen without interrupting him...this helps the story to be delivered more fully which any listener will appreciate and support your site ! Well done !
I've met Jhon Kiriakou at the airport in Athens with his son and aproached him to thank him for the great job he is doing. What a great personality, we had a nice chat, there are no many people knows him in Greece and he was surprised that someone recognised him.
With 41 years of experience with the phone company, I can tell you that charges to a telephone line will not be billed to a vacant lot. They are billed to the telephone number regardless of where (along the line) the call is made. I knew this video was a bunch of BS as soon as he made that statement.
Years prior when tenants still hooked up phones to their apartment, I was tasked to keeping the apartments wiring fixed. Calif had a rule that the property owner was responsible for maintenance. The tenants would always call the phone company for repairs, get a bill and then try and get reimbursed. I labeled my cabinets well but I swear the lines from the street were being swapped with each new tenant.
@@obsoleteprofessor2034 Sounds familiar ... especially at colleges and universities where service was constantly changing. A new service is requested before the old service is disconnected, leading to a "blocking" nightmare.
I love that you let him tell his story without interrupting.

Right, storytelling.
C I A is really good at storytelling
Jose Rodriguez says half the stuff that Kiriakou says is made up garbage.
@@marcocano8399 too many ex CIA Officers telling stories...
@@emillyyelen5169good point
Kiriakou spent 2.5 years in federal prison for telling the truth about Abu Ghraib. Good on him.
That's not true. Abu Ghraib was run by the military. Kiriakou got nailed for disclosing information on CIA's capture program. These are separate.
@@snowbear163 No, the illegal CIA torture program. He didn't disclose anything that wasn't already public knowledge at that time and the FBI concluded he didn't break any laws.

Kiriaku is one of most professional dudes and one of best storytellers ever captured on podcasts.
I could listen to John tell CIA stories for Hours.
Same, he is an encyclopedia and an a phenomenal storyteller
HONESTLY! I’ve rewatched his koncrete interview multiple times
@user-qg8cj4zh5r 100% I have already watched these two long a$$ interviews. Dalton does a great job of interviewing a guy that has already been interviewed and asked 100 questions.
The probability that these are mostly just great stories, very few of which are true, is very high.
@@Robert-um2vb Most of the ones he talks about are Documented. His whole Abu capture story has been. So I have no idea what your talking about

Thank you! That is one thing I will never do on this channel
What's embarrassing is you can't even get a court trial for abu, the usa is a mess
It’s not that they can’t: they just don’t want to yet.
Why is he entitled to a court trial? He isn't on US soil. He isn't a US citizen. He is a terrorist who had no problem participating in killing others.
Now you think the USA is a mess?
That really says something about your direction.
Would end up recealing how much they shaped Iraq invasion before 9-11 and Mossad false confirms added as well
You know you are in need sleep when you say, "It feels like I just went to sleep😀"
0 Dark Thirty is one of my favorites. Even the soundtrack.
The smartest part of the interview is the host not interrupting Kriakou.
Note: there have been multiple sources challenging Kiriakou's version of catching Abu Zubaydah. For one they (Grenier et others) claim he wasn't in Faisalabad when Zubaydah was captured. That's a pretty major point.
