Military Tribunal is completely constitutional

No it isn't as JK made plain in his hearing. The Law of Armed Conflict is treaty law.

Also contains this gem: Reprisal. Prosecuting an LOAC violation may not be possible or practical if the enemy who violates the LOAC remains engaged in armed conflict. However, there is no statute of limitations on a war crime. Moreover, the LOAC permits combatants to engage in acts of reprisal to enforce an enemy force’s compliance with LOAC rules. Reprisals are acts in response to LOAC violations. The act of reprisal would be otherwise forbidden if it was not for the prior unlawful act of the enemy. A lawful act of reprisal cannot be the basis for a counter-reprisal.

If some rogue element (americans) tried to shoot down a plane carrying a witness to a conspiracy to overthrow a legitimately elected President, they could/should be prosecuted in a military tribunal?
