Please add Central Intelligence Group to immediate predecessors
CIG was only around for about a year, but it still indeed is the agency that came before CIA, and from my perspective the declassified documents provide some great bedtime reading. CIG did a lot of very important work in that year they were active. Please list CIG above OSS.
It would also be super dope to see some CIA peeps go in and add some edits to CIG as well - ESPECIALLY A SEAL OR A LOGO. I've FOIA'd CIA for any such logo but we all know how friggin long that takes. I'll let you know if they get back to me before we colonize Mars or whatever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guylaen (talk • contribs) 16:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
John Kiriakou and the CIA removing Abu Zubaydah's left eye
Integrated into the article:
John Kiriakou is a former CIA counterterrorism officer who was the only CIA officer sentenced in the CIA's enhanced interrogation program. Kiriakou was sentenced to 2 years prison for exposing the CIA's enhanced interrogation program. While in CIA custody, Zubaydah previously damaged left eye was surgically removed.[1][2]

- This seems unrelated to the context where you placed it in the article. What's the point? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I note that this source asserts that Kiriakou was sentenced to 30 months in prison for leaking the name of a former CIA officer alleged to have taken part in waterboarding. That's not quite that same thing you describe as "exposing the CIA's enhanced interrogation program", but I haven't seen the source you cite. There's a bit more detail here, but I'm not completely clear on what information besides that agent's name he was charged with and convicted of improperly disclosing.
