When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.

John Kiriakou's statement that the wives and children of men captured in the post-9/11 raids in Pakistan were separated from them and sent back to their home countries — and that the prisoners were not told, and were left believing their wives were still in American custody.
The families of the captured concerns what John Kiriakou says was done with the wives and children of the men taken in the night raids he ran in Pakistan after the September 11 attacks.[1]
The state the prisoners were in
Kiriakou describes the men as beyond resistance by the time they were moved. Asked about their body language as they boarded the aircraft, he says most of them just walked like sheep onto the back of the plane.[2]
The reason he gives is cumulative rather than any one thing. All of it happened in the middle of the night; the men were exhausted and terrified; many had just escaped from Tora Bora, which had been bombed heavily; and then at two in the morning the Americans broke down the door and seized them.[1]
The separation, and what was withheld
A great many of the men were married and had children, and the women and children were separated from the men at the point of capture. Kiriakou says the women and children were then sent back to their home countries.[1]
That outcome was not communicated. In his own words: “but we didn’t tell the prisoners that — so we led them to believe that we still had the wives in custody.”[1]
