So under what form will they be tried? In U.S. Courts? That's a different way to handle a war.

Individuals covered by Geneva may be tried in civil courts if the crime they are accused of is not a "war crime", but a violation of civil laws. They may also be tried in whatever fashion members of the detaining military's soldiers would be tried... which means a court martial.

So it is your view that these were not war crimes?
