Stuart A. Herrington

Stuart Arthur Herrington, Col, U.S. Army (Ret.) is an author and retired counterintelligence officer with extensive interrogation experience in three wars (Vietnam, Operation Just Cause, and Operation Desert Storm).[1] Herrington's 2003 audit of interrogation practices by U.S. forces in Iraq, including conditions at the Abu Ghraib prison and other sites, prompted scrutiny of U.S. interrogation efforts in the War in Afghanistan (2001-2021), the Iraq War, and elsewhere.[2]

For his experience in the Vietnam War, he was interviewed in Ken Burns's series about the war.
