Michael Lohr is an American lawyer, and officer in the United States Navy.[1]
Lohr is notable for his participation in discussions, in December 2002, of reports that interrogators from the Joint Task Force 160 and Joint Task Force 170 were using controversial interrogation techniques on the captives held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[1]
Lohr was the Navy's Judge Advocate General in December 2002, when Alberto J. Mora, the Department of the Navy's General Counsel, convened several meetings of the Navy's most senior lawyers, to discuss the reports, from David Brant, the Director of the NCIS, that the Navy's tenants at Guantanamo, were abusing their captives.[1]
