John Kiriakou: torture and whistleblowing
BODY:
Kim Hill talks to John Kiriakou, former CIA officer who in 2002 led the team that located Abu Zubaydah, alleged to be a high-ranking member of al-Qaeda. After a news interview in 2007, in which he confirmed that Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times, describing it as torture, Kiriakou was arrested, tried and sentenced to a 30-month prison term for revealing classified information. He is now a best-selling author and writes for Reader Supported News. In May he received the 2016 Blueprint International Whistleblowing Prize, and this weekend, he will receive the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence.
EXTENDED BODY:
John Kiriakou is a former CIA officer who in 2002 led the team that located Abu Zubaydah, alleged to be a high-ranking member of al-Qaeda.
After a news interview in 2007, in which he confirmed that Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times, describing it as torture, Kiriakou was arrested, tried and sentenced to a 30-month prison term for revealing classified information.
He is now a best-selling author and writes for Reader Supported News. In May he received the 2016 Blueprint International Whistleblowing Prize, and this weekend, he will receive the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence.
He told RNZ that the US lost its way after the 9/11 attacks and that the Patriot Act has undermined the lawful foundations of the nation. Torture is indefensible and ineffective he says.
"Not just because we're supposed to be a beacon of human rights and of civil liberties, but because if somebody is undergoing torture he is going to offer up any information he thinks the torturer wants to hear.
"The truth is going to be buried in there, but he is going to say so much it will take weeks, months maybe even years to pore through the data. From a practical standpoint it simply doesn't work and from a moral and ethical standpoint it's just simply wrong."
Waterboarding, he says, was always illegal in the US.
"In 1946 the US executed a Japanese soldier who had waterboarded American soldiers, and in 1968 the American government arrested, charged and convicted an American soldier who had waterboarded a North Vietnamese soldier and sentenced him to 20 years in prison - the law never changed."
He asks why it was illegal then and not in 2002?
So why did he speak out after years of serving in the CIA?
"I left the CIA in 2004 and never said a word until Sept 2007, but in the interim Amnesty International was writing about waterboarding and torture, Human Rights Watch was writing about it, the International Committee of the Red Cross was writing about it, so when Brian Ross of ABC news finally approached me in the days before the interview I thought a lot about it and I decided that no matter what he asked me I was going to tell the truth and just let the chips fall."
He says he struggled with his conscience at this time.
"It wasn't just Abu Zubaydah it was dozens, perhaps hundreds, of other prisoners. Nobody was willing to discuss the end, what was the endgame in all of this? Are we going to torture them until we came to the conclusion they didn't have anything else and then what? Kill them? Disappear them?
"We already had a system of secret prisons around the world something like the gulag system so what was the endgame? To finally silence people?"
He says Zubaydah, when he was finally handed to the CIA after being conventionally interrogated by the FBI, was stuck in a never ending cycle of torture.
As well as the waterboarding, he was beaten and put him in a dog cage for weeks at a time.
"He had an irrational fear of insects, so they would dump cockroaches into the dog cage just to make him crazy. He was subjected to sleep deprivation, he was starved, he was subject to something called the cold cell.
"He was stripped naked, he was chained to an eye bolt in the ceiling, his cell was chilled to 50 degrees Fahrenheit and every hour a CIA officer would go into the cell and throw a bucket of ice water on him. That technique has killed people and Abu Zubaydah went through all of it, every one of the techniques that were authorised by President Bush."
Kiriakou had a glittering career at the CIA and says while many of his colleagues supported his decision to speak out, his problem is with the organisation's leadership.
"The leadership of the CIA was largely made up of sociopaths, who believed they were the patriots, but were people no better than common murderers in my view. We've killed people during interrogations a number of times, no one was ever brought to justice for those killings.
"And what about the drone wars? How many schools, hospitals and weddings have to accidentally be bombed before we apologise and re-evaluate this programme?"
He says the Republican Party does not have a monopoly on patriotism.
"I consider myself to be a liberal and a progressive and as patriotic as anyone else in the CIA, at the same time we're a nation of laws, governed by an iron clad constitution, and if we intend to remain a country of laws we have to follow those laws - whether we like them or not, and we didn't after 9/11.'

Jimmy Barnes: working class boy
BODY:
Kim Hill talks to Scottish-born Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes, whose career with the band Cold Chisel and as a solo artist has made him one of the most popular and best-selling Australian artists of all time. He tells his early story in Working Class Boy, the first volume of a two-part autobiography. In February 2017 he will visit nine venues around New Zealand with his show, Jimmy Barnes - Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories + Songs.
EXTENDED BODY:
As front man of Cold Chisel, and a later a solo artist, Scottish-born Australian gravel-voiced rock singer Jimmy Barnes is one of the most popular and best-selling Australian artists of all time.
But his early years were tough, and he tells Kim Hill he has lived with the damage he suffered as a boy throughout his adult life.
The first volume of his two-part autobiography Working Class Boy tells the story of his tortuous childhood, and is the result of years of therapy dealing with alcoholism drug dependence and guilt.
The book describes a childhood blighted by alcohol and violence in Glasgow which continued in South Australia when the family emigrated there in 1962.
Barnes came to Australia with his family from Glasgow when he was five, he says he has spent his adult life running from his childhood.
The book uncovered many old wounds, he says.
“I grew up in a country where people dealt with problems through violence so if somebody got in your way, you knocked them down, if somebody yelled at you, you bashed them … that’s the way my parents dealt with problems.”
He remembers a dispute in Glasgow where his sister had bitten another child.
“To settle it my mum and her mum had a fist fight, and my mum knocked her out.”
Despite everything he loved his parents and says when sober his father was a soft spoken, charming man.
But when they were together and drunk, violence followed.
“I’ve seen my mum hit my dad with everything from lumps of wood to stiletto heels on the back of the head, they were just at each other.”
His parents never hit the children but the house was never a safe place.
“My sister would take us and hide us in the cupboard and cover us with blankets and coats or anything to smother out the noise so we couldn’t hear them fighting.”
Barnes’ father worked hard but there was never any money.
“Thursday night when it was pay day he just disappeared and he would turn up Sunday night -smelling of booze and women and he’d gambled all the money away - with his tail between his legs asking for forgiveness.
“He was a good bloke but he just couldn’t cope, he was in fits of depression.”
His home was so dangerous he would sleep in a nearby paddock in the dark.
“I grew up on that dark end of the street, everything we had wasn’t good enough we were always malnourished we were always in second hand clothes.”
And the move to Australia didn’t improve things.
“All those problems came with them, my dad just kept drinking, they kept fighting, womanising, gambling.
For his mother the only difference was she was alone with no support network.
“She was in Australia alone in the midst of her own hell, so things went from bad to worse.”
Finally his mother had enough and left the chaos of her life leaving the children behind. The children were left to fend for themselves, stealing for food and clothes with the older sister taking on the role of mother.
Finally, after two years, his mother returned with a new partner, Reg Barnes.
“Reg Barnes came into our life that day and we never went back to our dad, it was just incredible Reg was like the saviour.”
But by then his troubled childhood had taken its toll, he says.
“By that point I was damaged goods, we were all damaged goods.”
Jimmy Barnes will be in New Zealand in February 2017 visiting nine venues with his show, Jimmy Barnes - Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories + Songs.

EXTENDED BODY:
Christchurch is starting to track its half a million rubbish bins.
The city council says the measure is to cut down on the problem of lost, stolen or damaged wheelie bins - hundreds go AWOL every month and about 16,000 went missing after the February 2011 earthquake that closed off many parts of the city.
All council wheelie bins are now fitted with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags.The tags get scanned by the rubbish truck on collection day to check that they're outside the right property; and if your bin is at the wrong address it doesn't get collected!

How GPS is changing our world
BODY:
Greg Milner has written a history of GPS - the global positioning system developed in the '70s and controlled by the US military. He recently published Pinpoint: How GPS is changing our world.
EXTENDED BODY:
If you've used your cell phone, EFTPOS card, the internet or your car today then you've used GPS – the global positioning system developed in the '70s and owned by the US military.
Greg Milner is the author of Pinpoint: How GPS is Changing our World.
Read an excerpt of the interview:
Simon Morton: Greg, take me through the data trial – how does my phone work out exactly where I am using the GPS system?
Greg Milner: Every spot on earth – or almost every spot on earth – has a direct line of sight to at least four GPS satellites at any given movement. When you flip on your phone and turn on your map programme, it searches for the four strongest satellite signals. These satellites are broadcasting a constant radio signal and there’s information in this signal that tells the GPS chip in your phone exactly where the satellite was when the signal was released and the exact amount of time it’s taken to reach your phone from the satellite. If the phone can make these calculations with at least four satellites simultaneously it can extrapolate that data and translate it into latitude and longitude – and altitude data, if necessary – and then that is translated on to your map programme. So really it’s all about measuring the transmission time of these signals. That’s how it figures how far away it is from the satellites – and by doing that it can figure out where it is on earth.
Simon Morton: How long does a signal take to move from my GPS chip to the satellite? There have to be four satellites for it to be functional. That’s the critical bit here, isn’t it, the four?
Greg Milner: This is an important thing to remember about GPS because it’s one of the reasons why it was so valued by the military. Your phone is not transmitting anything. GPS is what’s called a passive navigation system, meaning all you have to do is receive the signal from the satellite. This was good for the military because it meant that it couldn’t be used by some hostile force to track where you are. It’s purely just about receiving that signal from the satellite and figuring how where you are based on how long it’s taken for those signals to reach you.

Wearables and weight loss: how well do they work?
BODY:
Professor John Jakicic of the University of Pittsburgh led a US study that studied nearly 500 people; half used fitness trackers and half didn't. And it was the group without the tech who had lost more weight after 2 years! So what should we make of the research?
EXTENDED BODY:
Wearable fitness monitors and activity trackers like Fibit, Garmin, Jawbone (and all the apps that live on your smartphone) are meant to nudge you into doing more exercise, which many of us do in an attempt to lose a few kilos.
But a US study out this week suggests that if weight loss is your goal, you might be better off saving your money and just using pen and paper instead.
Professor John Jakicic of the University of Pittsburgh led the research, which studied 470 overweight and obese people. After six months on a weight loss program all of the group were losing weight. Then half of them were issued with a fitness tracker and half weren't. It was the group without the technology who had lost more weight (an average of 2.4 kgs more) after two years!
Jakicic says the surprising results should not discourage people from using activity-tracking technology, but they raise the question of how best to motivate individuals to stick to an exercise or a weight loss programme. He said the results suggest that some people might lose interest in the technology over time, or that it could be making us focus on our goals in a different way.
With the technology moving faster than the science, Jakicic says the study shows there is no 'one size fits all' approach that will work for everyone.
"We need to be a little smarter and more understanding of for whom are [activity trackers] going to work best, under what circumstances do they work best, and what additional features do we need to put into these things to make them actually more effective?"- John Jakicic.

Shakes on a plane
BODY:
The rate of serious mid-air turbulence is increasing. Paul Williams from The University of Reading studies the air patterns that cause turbulence, and reckons that climate change is a big contributor to the problem.
EXTENDED BODY:
News that the rate of serious mid-air turbulence is increasing will not be welcomed by many air passengers or by the airlines themselves, with estimates that in the US alone damage, delays and disruptions caused by turbulence cost more than US$500 million every year.
Paul Williams studies the air patterns that cause turbulence. He says that less than one percent of the earth's atmosphere contains serious turbulence at any one time, but the incidence of turbulence is rising rapidly. And although airplanes are built to withstand extreme turbulence, climate change could be at least partly to blame.
A 2006 study by the US Federal Aviation Administration found that the number of accidents caused by turbulence more than doubled between 1982 and 2003 (and that's after adjusting for increased air traffic). Meanwhile, Williams says that since 1980 the number of serious injuries caused by turbulence has also doubled.
He claims that climate change is a major contributing factor as higher carbon dioxide levels at ground level can swiftly translate into higher temperatures and disruptions to jet stream wind patterns in flight lanes 9km above the ground.
With a short-term reduction in carbon dioxide levels looking unlikely, he's hoping that cheaper detection technology means that airlines invest in better turbulence forecasting tools, including using reflected ultraviolet light to detect invisible clear air turbulence.
The best advice? Passengers should keep their seatbelts fastened at all times, as serious injuries typically involve flight crew or other people moving around the cabin.
"If you keep your seatbelt fastened that's the number one thing you can do to virtually guarantee your safety."
Paul Williams is the Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading.

Location, location: a digital horror story
BODY:
Kashmir Hill of fusion.net uncovered a digital horror story that revolves around location, and how the specific GPS coordinates of Joyce Taylor's Kansas farmhouse got linked to more than half a billion digital devices.
EXTENDED BODY:
'Privacy pragmatist' Kashmir Hill recently uncovered a digital horror story that's about location, location, location.
There's money in being able to tell where someone is when they use an internet-enabled device like a smartphone. Just think of the targeted advertising opportunities when someone can tell that you are walking past a certain shop, or a cafe at lunchtime - fancy a cheap muffin?!
So businesses have grown up to sell information about the whereabouts of all those digital devices. These IP address mapping services look at the digital address a device needs to connect to the network and tries to work out where it's being used.
Now, this isn't always a perfect science. Sometimes mapping companies can only tell you are in Auckland, or the North Island, or just that you're in New Zealand. So they come up with a default address to capture this information on their databases. Back in the early 2000s when some of these default addresses were being set people didn't foresee the proliferation of IP addresses and digital devices. So some odd and unfortunate decisions were made.
That's where 82-year old Joyce Taylor from Kansas - and her tenants the Arnolds - enter the scene. Because unfortunately for them, a major mapping company had designated their remote rural property as its default address for the entire US. Fast-forward to today and it looks as though over 600 million digital devices are being operated from that one single address. That's causing Joyce and the Arnolds a whole heap of problems, including baseless accusations of hacking, identity theft, tax fraud, and far, far worse.
"38°N 97°W - there are now over 600 million IP addresses associated with that default coordinate... which happens to be in the front yard of Joyce Taylor's house."
