'America loves dictators': Ex-CIA officer
The Daily Guardian
|October 25, 2025
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou has made a series of explosive revelations about Washington's dealings with Pakistan after 9/11, alleging that the US “purchased” then-President Pervez Musharraf with millions in aid, tolerated corruption among Pakistani leaders, and refrained from targeting nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan following “direct intervention” from Saudi Arabia.
-
In an interview with ANI, Kiriakou, who served 15 years in the CIA as an analyst and later chief of counterterrorism operations in Pakistan, said, “The United States loves working with dictators. You don’t have to worry about public opinion or the media. We essentially just purchased Musharraf. He let us do whatever we wanted.”
He added that Musharraf “kept the military happy” by allowing terrorist groups to continue operations against India while pretending to cooperate with Washington on counterterrorism. “The military didn't care about Al-Qaeda. They cared about India,” Kiriakou noted, recalling the India-Pakistan standoff during Operation Parakram in 2002.
