Tom Kranz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tom Kranz is an American lawyer, and officer in the United States Navy.^[1]

Kranz is notable for his participation in discussions, in December of 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]

Kranz was one of two deputies to Alberto J. Mora, the Department of the Navy's General Counsel, who led an effort within the Defense Department to try to end coercive interrogation tactics at Guantanamo Bay. Mora convened the December discussions when David Brant, the Director of the NCIS, drew Mora's attention to use of the questionable interrogation techniques.
