John, these are prisoners of war. We are not required to convict them of anything. They remain prisoners as long as the war continues, and we repatriate them after the war.

Do you honestly think every POW gets a trial? Yikes.

Did we provide trials for the German, Japanese or other POWs we had before the end of WWII? Were they convicted of anything prior to the end of the war?

A point of order. Virtually none of these people are POWs and have no rights as such. They are illegal combatants under the law of war and according to international treaty could be executed with no legal repercussions. Any pretender to the position of Commander and Chief should not only be aware of this but damned well willing to carry it out.
