Michael E. Dunlavey
From WikiAlpha
Michael E. Dunlavey was a Major General in the United States Army.[1] Following his retirement from the Army he was appointed a State Judge in Erie Pennsylvania.
Dunlavey is on record as requesting authorization for interrogators to use controversial interrogation techniques derived from reverse-engineering the SERE training special forces soldiers go through so they can withstand torture.[2][3]
Interrogation of Mohammad al-Qahtani, that would later be acknowledged to constituted torture, began under Dunlavey's command.
