Prosecutor Jeff Groharing urged a military jury to send a message to the world with a 25-year sentence for Khadr, a former teenage al-Qaida fighter who was 15 when captured by the U.S. after a fierce firefight in Afghanistan in 2002, but it would be largely symbolic since a plea deal limits how time the last Westerner at Guantanamo can spend behind bars.
