“Now here I was, post-Snowden, relying on a system President Obama, Congress, and IC leaders had touted as successful and functional. But was it truly working? My case exposed it as nothing more than a sham. Would the CIA and the IC attempt to rectify the situation? Did they genuinely desire to fix the broken system? Or would they persist in employing their illegal bullying tactics to silence whistleblowers? I was determined to take action, offering them an opportunity to correct their behavior.” —From The Broken Whistle
The Broken Whistle is former CIA officer and Intelligence Community whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta’s firsthand account of a system designed to expose government wrongdoing and protect those who speak out—and what happens when that system fails.
Drawing on eighteen years inside the CIA, including service in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East, CIA Headquarters, and the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Orta takes readers inside a world largely hidden from public view. His experience working on whistleblower issues, and later becoming a whistleblower himself, provides the foundation for a gripping examination of government accountability, institutional power, retaliation, and congressional oversight.
The book examines the 2019 “Ukraine whistleblower” controversy that contributed to the first impeachment of President Donald Trump. Orta questions how that complaint was handled and contrasts the extraordinary attention it received with the experiences of Intelligence Community whistleblowers who struggled for years to obtain investigations, protection from retaliation, or meaningful relief.
But Donald Trump is not the book’s ultimate subject. The system is.
At the center of The Broken Whistle is a question that transcends political parties: What happens when the institutions responsible for investigating government wrongdoing and protecting whistleblowers fail the people who turn to them for protection?
Orta lays bare his own harrowing journey through the CIA, recounting allegations of retaliation, institutional resistance, failed oversight, and ultimately the termination of a career in which he received eight Exceptional Performance Awards for contributions to U.S. national security.
The book also confronts the responsibility of Congress. Orta argues that congressional oversight is an essential check on executive power, especially within the classified world of intelligence and national security, and that the consequences of failed oversight extend far beyond any individual whistleblower.
This is not an argument that accountability matters only when one political party controls the White House. Government power must be accountable regardless of who holds it.
Part CIA memoir, part whistleblower exposé, The Broken Whistle challenges readers across the political spectrum to confront difficult questions about secrecy, dissent, executive power, congressional oversight, and accountability.
Editorial Reviews:
"'The Broken Whistle' is more than an exposé; it is a discerning examination of the mechanisms of power, corruption, and the pursuit of truth and justice. Orta's work is a significant contribution to literature for those intrigued by the inner workings of the intelligence community, the complexities of political power, and the audacity required to confront a system that often suppresses dissent. His story serves as a potent reminder of the continual struggle for transparency and accountability at the highest levels of authority." –Literary Titan Reviews
"A stand-out exposure of the haphazard organization of the Central Intelligence Agency. This proves to be a valuable book in understanding how our intelligence agencies are run and often mismanaged." -Reedsy Discovery, Philip Zozzaro, San Francisco Book Review

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
