This page lists people claimed or presumed to be CIA whistleblowers.
When engaging with supposed whistleblowers of intelligence organizations as a source of information, it is important to engage critically, noting phenomena such as the limited hangout, which is a calculated partial disclosure of classified information in order to create the appearance of transparency. Furthermore, many so-called "former" CIA personnel remain in service of or in contact with the CIA, or otherwise remain in agreement with the aims of the CIA. The CIA is also capable of conducting blackmail, lawfare, smear campaigns, and assassinations against its enemies, which may discourage comprehensive or completely truthful disclosures by (former) personnel. Therefore, although its possible a given individual CIA whistleblower may have accurate information to provide, and may potentially have genuine truth-telling intent, one must remain critical of their supposed whistleblower status and keep in mind possible omissions, motivations, or undisclosed affiliations of that individual.
