Guantanamo Prosecution
Groharing is currently one of the officers appointed to prosecute. Guantanamo captives charged before the Guantanamo military commissions. According to a Wall Street Journal article Groharing found that intelligence analysts were failing to cooperate with him by providing him with the information he needed to convict Omar Khadr.
The Wall Street Journal quoted Groharing about the Khadr's prosecution:
"What's the alternative? To not hold him accountable? We are certainly not going to give him a pass for killing a U.S. service member and plotting to kill many more, The difference between us and al Qaeda is that when we had him on the battlefield, we didn't summarily execute him,"

Famous quotes containing the word prosecution:
“The prosecution of [Warren] Hastings, though he should escape at last, must have good effect. It will alarm the servants of the Company in India, that they may not always plunder with impunity, but that there may be a retrospect; and it will show them that even bribes of diamonds to the Crown may not secure them from prosecution.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
