A former CIA officer has spoken out against the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf party after they demanded an apology over his comments on the India-Pakistan conflict. John Kiriakou, a 15-year CIA veteran, recently revealed that the party sent him a threatening letter, but he fired back with a scathing response. During an interview on the Julian Dorey Podcast, Kiriakou shared that the letter from the Imran Khan-led party condemned his remarks and demanded an immediate apology. However, Kiriakou refused to back down, telling the party that he would 'wipe my a**' with their demands. Kiriakou's initial comments on the conflict sparked a massive backlash from Pakistanis, but he stood by his statement that 'Pakistanis will lose' in a conventional war. He emphasized that his remarks were not intended to promote conflict, but rather to highlight the devastating consequences of war. As a key figure in the CIA's anti-terror operations after 9/11, Kiriakou led the 2002 raid that resulted in the capture of Abu Zubaydah, a senior al Qaeda official at the time. Kiriakou's response to the party's demands has sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the party's actions. The incident serves as a reminder of the sensitive nature of international relations and the importance of respecting differing opinions.
