[edit] Guantanamo Prosecution
Groharing is one of the officers appointed to prosecute Guantanamo captives charged before the Guantanamo military commissions.[6] 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,"
