Alberto Mora was an American lawyer and public official.

In early 2002 he was General Counsel of the Navy when David Grant, then the Director of the Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) informed Mora that interrogators were torturing individuals held in the newly created Guantanamo Bay detention camps.[1]

In 2006 Mora was chosen by the John F. Kennedy Library as a John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award Recipient, for his efforts to prevent the use of torture.[2]

Over the next three years, Mora waged a campaign inside the Bush Administration to prevent military and civilian leaders from codifying any policy that might implicitly or explicitly sanction the mistreatment of Guantanamo detainees as part of the war on terror.”
