CIA honors official Terry Ward whose firing Congress compelled for failing to report rights violations in Guatemala and allegedly condoning torture by his informants. Protests outside the award ceremony are led by human rights activist Jennifer Harbury, whose Guatemalan husband was tortured and executed by the Guatemalan military in 1992; her hunger strike outside the White House in 1995 led to disclosures that the murder of her husband had been ordered by a CIA operative. The ensuing public uproar led Congress to demand Ward’s firing.
