KiriPedia
The free encyclopedia of one CIA officer's world, as he told it.
John Kiriakou spent fourteen years at the CIA, led the team that caught Abu Zubaydah, and went to prison after he spoke publicly about the agency's torture program. He has been talking ever since, on podcasts and panels and YouTube shows, for hundreds of hours. KiriPedia turns that talk into an encyclopedia that looks and reads like Wikipedia, with one rule above the others. Nothing goes in unless Kiriakou said it on the record, and every sentence links to the moment he said it.
Most of the work is invisible. Transcripts arrive from 934 recordings. A set of daily routines mines them for people, places, programs and events, another stitches thin entries into proper narrative, and a single publisher is the only process allowed to ship. When an alias is all Kiriakou gave, the article uses the alias. When he declined to name a country, the page declines too. Gaps stay gaps.
The result runs to 2,132 articles anchored to 30,763 timestamps, close to two million words of sourced prose, and an On This Day calendar that covers 318 days of the year. Common transcription errors redirect to the right names. Anyone who would rather keep a copy than trust a server can download the whole thing as an offline archive.
