Introducing
Alberto J. Mora
speaking on
Ethical Considerations: Law, Foreign Policy, and the War on Terror
On
Thursday, November 2, 2006
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
As U.S. Navy general counsel, Alberto Mora battled with military and civilian leaders over U.S. policy regarding the treatment of detainees held as part of the war on terror. Alerted by Navy investigators to reports that detainees at Guantanamo Bay were being subjected to cruel and unlawful interrogation practices, he tried to halt policies of authorizing cruelty toward terror suspects. Mr. Mora challenges all Americans to consider the question: How can we maintain our national values as we fight this war on terror?
Alberto Mora served as General Counsel to the Department of the Navy in Washington, DC from July 2001 until December 2005. Upon returning to the private sector, he joined Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in January 2006 as Vice President and General Counsel for the International Division. He currently resides in Bentonville, AR.
