About John Leso
- John Francis Leso (born August 13, 1966) is an American psychologist and a major in the United States Armed Services, who is reported to have aided JTF-GTMO interrogators in their interrogations.
- Leso consulted on the interrogation of Mohammed al-Qahtani, the alleged 20th 9/11 hijacker.
- Information on Al-Qahtani's interrogation became public when a classified interrogation log was leaked to Time.
- The identity of the whistleblower remains unknown.
- Leso's name was included in the leaked log, which triggered debate in the medical community about the role of psychologists in supporting military interrogations.
- Debate is ongoing about the effectiveness and ethics of the interrogation techniques used with Al-Qhatani, as many consider them torture.
- Although some activist psychologists have criticized Leso for "directing" the interrogation of Al-Qhatani, scrutiny of public sources on the matter reveals that Leso's actual role and duties remain unclear.
